We are pretty happy to be able to announce the launch of new gallery KiCK and their first show KiCK START. KiCK is an artist-first project promoting Canadian works domestically and abroad.

KiCK is a new project which features artists from across Canada, exposing their work to a larger audience by providing unique show and marketing opportunities. KiCK provides assistance procuring grants, publicity, corporate patronage opportunities and provides studio facilities for its Calgary-based artists. This show is being thrown in conjuntion with the launch of the new website and online shop: kickgallery.ca.

KiCK is the passion project of Calgary artist and designer, Jfry Craig. Mr. Craig has presented work across North America, been featured by MODA, opened media festivals and was a featured artist as last year’s AMAAS conference.

Jfry Craig on KiCK and Canadian art:

I think there are opportunities to expose the world to Canadian art and artists that are pro-active and that embrace technology in different ways. I think that KiCK can give artists enhanced opportunities to reach new audiences with the goal of opening new doors so artists can focus on their work first and foremost.
