FLEET Studio:
Edmonds
Details
Burnaby’s Public Art Program has adopted a FLEET into Edmonds Park to build new connections in the neighborhood and to create space for cultural expression. Located in the Park behind the Edmonds Community Centre, the space is set up to host working artists and will regularly be activated as a site for community participation.
Visitors can expect opportunities to engage with visiting artists through events such as open studios, talks, presentations and performances. Audio programs will also be shared online via the radio broadcast Currents and Waves.
The studio will be located in Edmonds until September 2025.
FLEET: Edmonds involves an open call for participation from May 2024-July 2024, the results of which will be part of programs over the course of 2024-2025.
