Our Story
Blank Page Studio is a creative space for idea development.
Guided by the vision and expertise of Director, daniel j kirk (he/him), the studio realizes many artistic projects and collaborations within the private and public realm.
Our story begins in 2014 with reimagining the use of an under-utilized commercial building in Calgary’s Kensington business district; a 1947, two story, commercial/office building. Through developing a relationship with the landlord and owner, George Trutina, CEO and Founder of Truman Development, they have provided us with the opportunity to call Kensington home.
The space has since been thoughtfully customized into a versatile workspace supporting the professional needs of a growing collection of progressive local businesses and individuals.
The versatility and aesthetic of our studio was thoughtfully designed and built by artists Ivan Ostapenko and daniel j kirk, and artists/ architects Mark Erickson, Damon Hayes Couture, and Matthew Kennedy of Studio North. We have since grown from a 1600 sq2 experiment into a 3000 sq2 facility with the help of many.
