@benjaminmoorepaints and @thepaintshopcanada have always had our backs - and our walls! 🤗From supplying paint for the murals we’ve helped organize throughout the city, to creating our beautiful gallery floor - their expert products and advice never fails to impress!

This partnership has also been invaluable to the daily functions and upkeep of Eastern Edge. For example, we have been busy painting the gallery walls in preparation for when we can safely re-open to the public. We’ve trusted their primer and paint on our gallery walls for years!

We also have a lot more exciting and colourful projects coming up, and none of this would be possible without the generous contributions from Benjamin Moore and The Paint Shop We can’t wait to share more details with you very soon, and for all of us to come together and make something beautiful.

📚Did you know EE has a library?📖

Throwback Thursday! This was in 2018 when Programming Coordinator @charlotte.mayhobden and Executive Director @philimarie set up our David Tuck Memorial Library✨Come see for yourself the improvements we’ve made over the years!

The library is a completely free and accessible resource, just like most things at Eastern Edge! We offer an extensive collection of art periodicals and artist books for short-term loans to our members: a perfect solution for both your leisurely reads and artistic research!

While we are continually updating our catalogue, we encourage all members to browse our collection and enjoy the quiet library space during gallery hours. If you aren’t able to make it in but are interested in availing of this free resource, email us! We will ship a book to you for free*.

Additionally, The David Tuck Memorial Library has a little bit of wall space for artists to show some of their work! There is no formal process to apply to this, simply email us your ideas and we’ll talk about a time you can add them to the library! Click “The David Tuck Memorial Library” link in our bio to read more about this space.
