The Esker Foundation, a vast and ravishing exhibition space opened in 2012 in Inglewood, recently voted as Canada’s “Best Neighbourhood”. Canadian art collector couple Jim and Susan Hill spent 15 years planning for Esker— developing a new model in Calgary with a primarily commercial building with some space for the art gallery.
