Keystone Art Gallery

Website: http://www.keystoneartgallery.com

At Keystone Art Gallery we stage regular exhibitions of works by local, national and international artists. Keystone is an eclectic gallery and the diversity of work delights visitors.  It is not uncommon to see a significant number of modestly priced works by many different artists.  

The depth of inventory is substantial and the works range from small intimate original prints to large paintings and everything in between.  Keystone Art Gallery represents a significant number of artists and also deals in secondary market artwork sales from pre-Confederation to present day.  The range of works will include both representational and non-representational works on canvas, paper and three-dimensional works.  Keystone is always looking to increase the quality of work handled and regularly reviews submissions by serious artists who work within the figurative, representational and non-representational traditions and have professional art training and/or a history of representation by serious galleries with a particular strength in fine-art and original printmaking.  Keystone will occasionally also have themed exhibitions where the opportunities for emerging artists are more flexible.  We like to encourage artists at all stages of their careers.  For a physically small gallery – the breadth and quality of work on display and available is unparalleled in the City.

The gallery director, Daniel Lindley, has been active in the Calgary commercial gallery market since 1988.  This is the fourth gallery he has been involved with, each with increasing levels of responsibility.

Over the years Mr. Lindley has placed works ranging from works produced by students in art colleges and universities to group period paintings by members of the Group of Seven and other investment grade artists (both Canadian and international).  Mr. Lindley’s previous directorship was of a long-standing Calgary based gallery which when he resigned during Spring 2007 was a full member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada.  When he resigned and was hired to lead Keystone – a very significant percentage of the artists followed him within days enabling Keystone to have a full stable upon opening four days later.  Keystone also has a framing department and regularly provides art consulting and evaluations for insurance purposes.

Mr. Lindley is very active in the Calgary visual art community and currently serves as the chair of the City of Calgary Civic Art Collection Committee (second term).  In addition to this he is also a member of the Calgary Allied Arts Foundation board, which he has been involved with since 2004.  

His previous board commitments have also included the Triangle Gallery for Visual Arts, The New Gallery and numerous other community and arts related organizations.
