The Edge Venue

Available for Concerts, Exhibits and Special Events

As the Edge is a not-for-profit organization, we rely on the income of renting our facility to assist in funding the continued development of our outreach programming.  Our unique and intimate space is offered at affordable rental rates for a variety of artistic uses.  If you do not find what you are looking for here, or have an idea for something a little different, we invite you to call the gallery with any questions or suggestions.

CONCERTS

Since our concert series began in the Fall of 2008, we have hosted some truly fine musical talent from across Canada and many of our own home-grown faves!  Check out the events page for upcoming concerts and to find some great new music, check out the archive of past performers here!  Facebook users stay in the loop for upcoming shows at the Edge group page.
