Serving <strong>Edson</strong> <strong>and</strong> area since 1913<br />
As one of <strong>Edson</strong>’s oldest buildings, the Red Brick<br />
Arts Centre <strong>and</strong> Museum is a must see!<br />
Built in 1913, the Red Brick was<br />
one of <strong>Edson</strong>’s first schools<br />
<strong>and</strong> continued to serve the<br />
children of <strong>Edson</strong> until 1967<br />
when it was closed down. It<br />
then become a bus barn for<br />
the school division but when<br />
a new facility was opened<br />
in the 80s, the future of the<br />
Red Brick was uncertain.<br />
A campaign to save the<br />
building started in 1985<br />
<strong>and</strong> succeeded when the<br />
building was designated<br />
a municipal historical<br />
resource in 1987.<br />
102 years after opening<br />
its doors, the Red Brick<br />
has become the town’s<br />
cultural cornerstone,<br />
complete with an<br />
art gallery, 141 seat<br />
theatre, dance studios,<br />
permanent art<br />
collection <strong>and</strong> a<br />
classroom museum.<br />
