If you have been to Eastern Edge recently you have

If you have been to Eastern Edge recently you have probably noticed that our space is looking a little different!

Over the past few months we have levelled the floor in our hallway and coated it in a non-slip epoxy, installed new automatic doors on the gallery, studio, and bathroom, and refreshed the paint in our hallway.

Renovations are still ongoing, with exciting changes taking place inside the gallery and studio, but we wanted to stop and take a moment to acknowledge how far we have already come in increasing the accessibility of our 127 year old heritage building.

None of this would have been possible without the hugely generous labour and support from The Birch, Benjamin Moore and The Paintshop, as well as all of the contract workers and volunteers that have dedicated their time to helping us improve our space. This also would not have been possible without funding from The City of St. John’s, and the Enabling Accessibility Fund.

Stay tuned over the next few months to hear more about the still ongoing renovations and changes to our space, we can’t wait to tell you about it all!

Swipe for before photos!

New art writing alert! 🚨 Elijah Garrard's essay

New art writing alert! 🚨 Elijah Garrard's essay on Shazia Ahmad's exhibition Three Years, Two Gardens, One Feeling, is up now on our website! Click the link in bio to check it out! 📖 here's a sneak peek:

"...even objects richly imbued with memory are poor stand-ins for the intimacy of an embrace. The diorama, small and enclosed, conjures the claustrophobia of lockdown. What does “home as belonging” mean in the context of Covid-era isolation? Three Years, Two Gardens, One Feeling invites us to remember how it felt to survive a harrowing time."

👋🏻 Presenting the 4th and final artist for our Community Connections project, Craig Francis Power!

Craig Francis Power is a visual artist and the award-winning author of three novels. His hooked rugs have shown widely in galleries across Canada and he has attended art residencies in Sackville NB, the Banff Centre, Tuscany, and Beijing. For Community Connections, Craig is creating a hooked rug that will operate as a humorous, maximalist tapestry and an interactive selfie-taking backdrop, with imagery drawing from folk art, nautical maps, selfie culture, and children's drawings.
