The Artist TakeOver at the Foundry Studios, Edmonton AB

January 2024 - May 2024

Mariam Qureshi, a proficient artist, was presented with an opportunity to work in a building under the ownership of The Foundry Room.

Following discussions with Eva.T., one of the owners of the building, they decided to convert the space into a studio that would cater to artists seeking to teach and host creative events.

In March, Mariam took the initiative to invite a select group of artists to leverage the available space for studio work and to establish networks that would foster the creation of innovative events.

Presently, Mariam Qureshi and Riley Tenove maintain a regular presence at the studios and are working towards developing painting workshops and drawing classes for public participation. Additionally, a handful of other highly creative artists have their works on display on the walls of the building, which serves to create an environment that is both stimulating and inspiring.

If you would like to participate in this Artist TakeOver and use the offered space as your art studio and want to help build something exciting in the community, please contact the artist liaison for the Foundry Studios, Mariam Qureshi. Also, feel free to subscribe to get info on any upcoming events.
