by

Nina Haggerty and EAC : The program formerly known as #YEGCanvas has taken a new shape this year as the Edmonton Arts Council, Patterson Outdoor Advertising and the Nina Haggerty Center for the Arts have come together to help elevate 41 artworks representing a wide variety of artists with developmental disabilities working in the incredible community space at 118 Avenue.

Over the next 24 weeks or so, the art will be displayed on the LRT system in and around Edmonton, including 41 rotating digital signage on the platform level of Churchill Station. TIX on the Square will also rotate original artwork if you want to see brush strokes, line work, and honest effort up close.

Knowsy Fest : Speaking of 118 Avenue, this summer, 10 local listeners knocked on doors, appeared in parks, and engaged in conversations on the streets and at local businesses to collect stories about moments that mattered for the well-being of Alberta Avenue residents.

This weekend, between 92 Street and 94 Street, those stories have been turned into gallery window art projects on display at four sites found at Pe Metawe, Qi Creative, Carrot Cafe, and the Nina Haggerty Center. The stories on display range from chance encounters on the sidewalk to deep stories of celebration and grief. Artist information and a map of the festival are at auricle.info/knowsy .
