Latitude 53 - Edmonton
About Latitude 53
Founded in 1973 by a collective of Edmonton artists, Latitude 53 is one of Canada’s oldest artist-run centres dedicated to supporting artists.
Latitude 53 became a registered charity in 1978 and has been influential and supportive of the formation of other artistic groups, including SNAP (Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists), CARFAC, and Alberta Art Foundation (now part of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts).
Latitude 53 has presented significant exhibitions by notable Canadian artists in the formative stages of their careers, including Lyndal Osborne (1974), Rita McKeough (1980), Janet Cardiff (1989), George Bures Miller (1989), Micah Lexier (1989), Diana Thorneycroft (1991), Kent Monkman (1994), Luis Jacob (2002), Jon Sasaki (2009), Brenda Draney (2010), Jason de Haan (2011), Luther Konadu (2018), Bridget Moser (2019) and Lauren Crazybull (2020).
Today, Latitude 53 is one of the largest and oldest centres in the Canadian Prairies, and it serves as a major centre for contemporary art in Northern Alberta. Latitude 53 occupies a 5,500 sq ft building in downtown Edmonton with over 2,600 sq ft of dedicated exhibition space.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a cool place, sadly I wasn't FEELING the art. It truly is all contemporary, so if you're looking for "classic" or traditional paintings and stuff, it won't be here. When I went, there were only 3 exhibits that I could find, but others seemed to have seen more pieces, so that was disappointing. The photos on Google seemed awesome though. It was pretty empty and not busy when I went, however I wish to come back again sometime when it's livelier. The front desk was friendly and very chill :) It's an interesting place to check out with friends, especially if you want to explore Edmonton more. It's nice that they support local artists; nice name selection.
