Located on the southwest corner of Churchill Square, TIX on the Square is a not-for-profit box office and gift shop owned and operated by the Edmonton Arts Council. TIX supports Edmonton artists and artistic works through ticket sales and promotion of local events such as fundraisers, concerts and plays, festivals and lectures. TIX also serves as a gift shop for locally made art and fine craft, including jewelry, pottery, photography, clothing, books and music. |
TIX on the Square is Edmonton’s arts and culture concierge. Owned and operated by the Edmonton Arts Council, TIX connects audiences with the opportunity to live local - supporting artists and artistic works throughout the city.
A hub of performing arts information, TIX’s retail location also supports the work of visual and craft artists. Located on the southwest corner of Churchill Square, TIX is a vibrant source of unique gifts that reflect Edmonton’s story and landscape.
TIX was created by the Edmonton Arts Council in 1999. Originally intended to operate as a rush ticket booth, it has developed into a vital hub connecting local artists and community groups with audiences.
As Edmonton’s arts and culture concierge TIX helps audiences navigate the city’s thriving entertainment scene, making it easy to find events, arts organizations and venues, purchase tickets, and more. Its low service fees, helpful staff, and retail space make TIX an antidote to many of the woes of commercial ticketing options.
In Spring 2011, TIX extended its role to connect audiences with Edmonton’s visual and craft artists and began operating a retail space, taking over the operations of The Edmonton City Store. The retail space features a wide range of unique, locally crafted products including pottery, jewelry, photography, fabric arts and more.
For more information on professional services for artists; to purchase tickets; and to see profiles of artists represented in the shop, visit www.tixonthesquare.ca.
The Edmonton Arts Council thanks the artists that have graciously agreed to have their photos be part of the Where Local Goes Live billboard campaign. This was part of an initiative to market TIX on the Square, and the EAC programming on Churchill Square.
