Since our founding in 1976, we have helped our community create technology-based art projects that represent the diversity, spirit, and viewpoints of the people in our region. We achieve this by offering skill-enriching workshops at a variety of experience levels, curating exhibitions both on and off site, and renting out production equipment at affordable rates for users at all levels.
Ed Video serves as a vital cultural center, fostering lasting connections between artists, audiences, and organizations. We embrace our role as an established institution in a city known for its vibrant creativity. Above all, we are committed to harnessing the educational potential of media arts for creators and viewers of all ages, while promoting understanding and engagement with contemporary technology-based art.
As a charitable artist-run centre, our mission is to foster the creation, exhibition, and appreciation of media arts.
To be a leading hub for independent media art in Canada, encourage creativity, innovation, and appreciation of diverse artistic expressions.
There has never been a better time to engage with Ed Video. Whether you’re an artist seeking support, a community member interested in workshops and events, or someone looking to experience and appreciate independent media arts, we welcome you to join our vibrant community.
