YOUTH PROGRAMMING

The Collective is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for artists at all levels of their creative journey; encouraging community participation in arts through education and outreach; and, serving as a vital creative resource and hub for local visual arts. The Collective has established an elevated, multi-discipline visual arts gallery–operated by its dedicated members of the Route 22 Artist Collective Ltd. Behind the gallery display space is an Arts Makerspace intended to provide arts programming for all ages. The Route 22 Artist Collective Ltd. Gallery is located at 208 1 St W (Historic Mainstreet) in downtown Cochrane. The arts play a huge role in building healthy communities and maintaining mental wellness. The Covid-19 crisis has brought this to the forefront and further illuminated the importance of art in helping people cope in the current difficult times. The arts connect, nourish and sustain us on a fundamental human level. Now more than ever, it is important to support the growth and health of our local arts scene. We could not be more proud of our grassroots Collective and the Route 22 Artist Collective Ltd. Gallery. We sincerely hope you will join us on our journey.
