Eastern Edge

Eastern Edge Gallery is an artist-run centre based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Eastern Edge Gallery was established in 1984 as the first artist-run centre in the province. It remains the only artist-run gallery in the province that is dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art in all media.[1] In 1987, it moved out of the LSPU Hall in to Flavin St, where City Building inspectors posted “stop-occupancy orders.” Eastern Edge Gallery moved to its current Harbour Dr. location on November 5, 1988[2]

Annual Art Festival

Now going into its 17th year, HOLD FAST is the province’s only festival dedicated to contemporary art.[3]
