$8.2M in federal funding will help build new hub for artists with disabilities in Calgary

News Article

The National accessArts Centre (NaAC) is set to open a new, purpose-built arts hub in Calgary, backed by an $8.2-million federal investment.


The Multidisciplinary Disability and Community Arts Hub (MDCAH) will provide accessible space for artists with disabilities, filling a long-standing need in the city’s arts community.

George Chahal, MP for Calgary Skyview, announced the funding Tuesday, saying the facility will offer opportunities for artists while contributing to the city’s cultural and economic fabric.


“For me, it’s about the artists,” Chahal said. “This facility provides an opportunity for artists with disabilities to realize their passions, their dreams, through art. Moving forward with a space that all Canadians with disabilities can use and enjoy was critical for our country, but also for our city.”


The new arts hub, to be built on Memorial Drive, will replace the NaAC’s current space, which has been in limbo since the collapse of Fairview Arena in 2018.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
