Edson achieved Host Celebration Site status for Arts Days 2011. With this designation came a grant from the Government of Albert Culture and Community Spirit. The Town of Edson also provided funds to support Arts Days in Edson.
CANOE member groups have planned three amazing days of arts-related activities and performances. Arts Days are a time to discover, experience, and celebrate the arts in our community. Everyone is invited!
Unless otherwise indicated, events are free.
Edson is one of many communities in Alberta taking part in Arts Days 2011. Alberta Arts Days is an annual celebration of our culture, heritage, artistic diversity, and provincial pride. This province-wide initiative is part of Culture Days – a national movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation, and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
