SPACE impacts how and where artists practice. Effectively planned it can be a positive catalyst for stimulating arts activities in Edmonton.
Arts Habitat has designed this survey to address the “redrawing of zoning bylaws or other regulations that inhibit the effective development of space for arts.”
Our draw for art includes:
a $150 gift certificate from the Alberta Craft Council Gallery and Shop and
a $150 gift certificate from Tix On The Square.
