• about eac

The Edmonton Arts Council is a not-for-profit organization that supports and promotes the arts community in Edmonton. The EAC works to increase the profile and involvement of arts and culture in all aspects of our community life through activities that: 

• Invest in Edmonton festivals, arts organizations and individual artists through municipal, corporate and private funding.

• Represent Edmonton’s arts community to government and other agencies and provide expert advice on issues that affect the arts.

• Build partnerships and initiate projects that strengthen our community.

• Create awareness of the quality, variety and value of artistic work produced in Edmonton.

The Edmonton Arts Council recognizes our relationship with the Indigenous people of Treaty 6 territories. In doing so, we renew our commitment to continuing our collective journey toward the ideals of peace, friendship, and understanding at the core of that agreement.
