Join curator Zachary Ayotte in conversation with Callum Beckford, Nicholas Hertz, Ken Khoo, and Amy Leigh as they showcase their work, and reflect on how this initiative impacted the artists’ practices and how it might evolve and scale within Edmonton and beyond. 

Artist Civil Service supported four Edmonton-based visual artists working part-time in civil service roles and part-time on their artistic practices over a four-month period. Centred around maintenance and care work, this project explores alternative funding models for artists while simultaneously investing in the civic infrastructure that sustains communities.
