In addition, Harcourt House comprises the single largest community of visual arts studios in Alberta by providing 44 affordable and sustainable studio facilities to artists, as well as exhibition and art education facilities, thereby creating an environment of artistic vibrancy and community spirit that cannot be matched anywhere else in Western Canada, and possibly in the whole country.
