Stylized text which reads "Representing the Arts in Old Strathcona"

    


We are a collective of local arts groups and businesses that define the Old Strathcona neighbourhood as a cultural hub and tourism destination in Edmonton.We formed as a result of our shared concerns around possible threats to our heritage in this neighborhood, though soon realized our organization also represents an immense opportunity to strengthen the at-large creative community and accelerate our flourishing in this area overall.
