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.

EXIT - in Artifact or Fiction, by Sharon Stevens.
A community procession led the way to the fire that would welcome funeral cards, old love letters, paystubs, and other objects of memory.
Thank you all that participated with open hearts.
This marks the end of the residency at cspace.projects in Eau Claire with the support of calgaryartsdev afa.1991

To Remember You By
A welcoming space to say farewell. Warm drinks, light, music, and heartfelt stories brought people together tonight.
We thanked Sharon for creating a space to deposit the objects and memories we hold dearly, where grief and love intersect.
The tributes, written memorials and cards will be carried out in a procession and burned with intention. Sunday at 1:30pm for a final farewell.

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.
