Arts Habitat collaborates on potential arts space projects to cultivate accessible and appropriate spaces for the arts community. We endeavour to define the actual space needs through environmental scanning and research. Liaising with partners such as the City of Edmonton, provincial organizations, and non-profit arts organizations across Canada, we continually build upon our expertise to offer the right resources and information to members of the arts community in Edmonton.
From funding options in times of a crisis to registering your specific space needs or looking for information to develop your own space, you will find it here.
