The Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub
Is Now Closed
Thanks for your support, Calgary!
The cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub operated out of the historic Eau Claire & Bow River Lumber Co. building from October 2022 until the end of March 2024.
We are grateful to all the artists and artist collectives who created magic here, and made cSPACE Eau Claire a place where artists, cultural and community groups could gather and create.

cSPACE was established in 2011 as a unique social enterprise in Calgary that is developing a network of non-profit creative workspaces across the city. We were formed in 2011 by the Calgary Arts Development Authority and The Calgary Foundation with a mission to incubate our city’s creative talent. Our purpose is to own, build and operate large scale, multi-tenant centres that support our city’s artists, non-profit organizations and social entrepreneurs through affordable space, networking opportunities and specialized programming. Our vision for Calgary is a city where creative enterprise thrives in vibrant communities. Our mission is to develop creative places that connect people and ideas through places that ignite collaboration and community-led change.
Eau Claire & Bow River Lumber Co. building
The Eau Claire & Bow River Lumber Co. was established in Calgary in 1886. The present building (on the City’s inventory of evaluated historic assets) was built c.1903-04 and was the second office erected by the lumber company. Since 1978, it has been known to Calgarians as the beloved 1886 Cafe. The wood frame building is being raised to meet flood plain requirements and was moved while Eau Claire Plaza undergoes redevelopment. The building is now temporarily situated at the northwest corner of 3rd street and 2 Ave SW, and is fitted with accessible ramps, attractive outside deck areas, and inviting lighting to support the hub’s use.
cSPACE is situated on Treaty 7 territory, home of the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina Nation, the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations, and Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6.
