Supporting our broader arts community
We have had the pleasure to support, to provide space and to share our home with our broader arts community, including with: the Boreal Electro Acoustic Music Society aka BEAMS, the Edmonton Folk Music Society aka the Folk Fest and the Train of Thought (Community Arts Tour).
BEAMS has hosted countless electroacoustic concerts, events and happenings in the Ortona room:
