Calgary, AB – AVLI on Atlantic announced today the three finalists in its private art competition. The project asked Alberta artists to submit design concepts to create an artistic legacy for AVLI condominium owners and Inglewood residents to enjoy. Submissions were reviewed by an expert panel composed of Artists, Architects, and community members.
Finalists’ designs will be on display for public feedback, starting on May 25th at the AVLI presentation centre located at 1201 – 10th Avenue SE, Calgary AB. Inglewood residents and interested parties are encouraged to visit the presentation centre to provide input and help create an artistic legacy for the community.
“All of the applications that we received were outstanding, another sign of the strength and talent of the Art Community in Alberta,” said Brian Kernick, president of Greenview Developments. “Thank you to all of the committee members and artists that have taken the time to contribute to creating an artistic legacy for the community.”

“It’s been a pleasure reviewing all of the design concepts that were submitted for the Atlantic Art Competition,” said Naomi Potter, director/curator of the Esker Foundation and AVLI Art Committee member. “I’m pleased that AVLI has chosen to support artists and invest in a new public artwork for Inglewood.”
AVLI on Atlantic itself is also a work of local public art. From the beginning, developer Brian Kernick engaged local design professionals, the award-winning architects at Sturgess Architecture and Inglewood’s own celebrated interior designer Jerilyn Wright. This commitment to sourcing local professionals continues with AVLI specifically seeking work from the Alberta Art Community and seeking public feedback to help choose the winning design concept for their artistic legacy.
Located on 9th Avenue SE (Atlantic Avenue), homes at AVLI on Atlantic start in the low $300,000s. Most of AVLI’s floor plans are custom-designed, ranging in size from 545 to 2,200 square-feet. The seven-storey development offers a unique mix of one and two-bedroom homes (plus den), including four live-work homes and seven penthouse suites.
