Harcourt House Artist Run Centre is an Edmonton-based thought leader and direction-setting public visual arts institution and art education centre that boldly develops, presents, and interprets the art and design of our time. Our mandate is to enable transformative experiences by connecting art and design with local and global communities, and by providing affordable studio facilities to local artists. In addition, Harcourt House comprises the single largest community of visual arts studios in Alberta by providing 42 affordable and sustainable studio facilities to artists, as well as exhibition and art education facilities, thereby creating an environment of artistic vibrancy and community spirit that cannot be matched anywhere else in Western Canada, and possibly in the whole country.
