Over the next couple of months, each artist will present their work through the EE social media channels and our website. They will each also host a public presentation that is best suited to their project - artist talks, workshops, maker’s nights, and more. Towards the end of the residencies there will be a public Community Conversations event - more info coming soon!

There are so many ways for you to get involved, so be sure to follow our social media to catch free events you can join and meet some new people along the way!

@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.
