Remember the art walk this summer, when it rained and everybody stayed? Umbrellas over easels, art that refused to pack up? That's the energy we're bringing to our Arts, Storytelling & Public Imagination Lab.

We're gathering a small circle of local artivists at EPL Stanley A. Milner for an honest, high-impact conversation about creative practice and public imagination.

Any medium is welcome — drawing, painting, craft, photography, performance, and beyond. No keynote, no stage, no pressure to have all the answers. Just a space to talk about how you get unstuck, what a rough draft looks like, how you know something is done, and what it means to make art in and with your community.

The roundtable will run for approximately 45 minutes, with an incredible panel lineup beforehand. Food will be provided, and it's a great opportunity to meet other Edmonton artivists, exchange ideas, and expand your creative network.
