Help Support Creative Red Deer!

We are the Red Deer Arts Council; a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to promoting local creativity and culture throughout Red Deer and Central Alberta. For nearly 50 years, we have been running events and promoting literary, performing and visual arts. With our new expanded office downtown, we are now able to host Arts Council related events such as poetry readings, art exhibits, concerts, and much, much more. 

Imagine a day without arts and culture.

No music in your headphones, no concerts to attend, no decorations in your office or any stylish graphic t-shirts. No architecture, video games, storytelling, books, logos, no music ... The list of creative outlets we'd lose each day goes on. It would be devastating to our humanity.

The arts are integral to our daily lives and communities. They are the backbone of our identities and our individual cultures. Art creates inclusivity; it creates a voice for all people. These voices need to be heard.

Help keep arts and culture alive in Red Deer!

In order to keep art alive, the community has to step in. Without a space to encourage the development of art, we risk the loss of culture and of opportunities to create impactful art to breathe life into our communities. Over the course of our nearly 50 years of operations, we have continuously worked with the City of Red Deer and numerous other associations to display the work of local artists and fund artists' dreams through scholarships and awards.
