Vision
The Edge Vision
The Edge exists to increase public interest in the arts and improve the economic status of artists to ensure that Winnipeg thrives as a centre for artistic and cultural excellence.
The arts connect people to their community. When people make art, they tackle the issues that confront them in their daily lives. It educates and enlightens their peers, their community and the wider public about their life and experiences. People recognize their own struggles and joys reflected in the art of others.
Arts and culture are an economic development tool; cultural and creative expression is a means to affecting deep and lasting social change.
We believe that a healthy arts presence is a vital part of community infrastructure. When artists occupy live/work spaces, they have a 24-hr/day connection to the neighbourhood and add a degree of security and stability to the community.
