The Works Art & Design Festival 2025

The Works Art & Design Festival is returning to Edmonton’s Churchill Square and multiple venues across central Edmonton, Alberta, to celebrate its 40^th anniversary with Ground Works, running from June 21 to July 1, 2025. 

Over 11 days, the heart of the City will come alive as more than 100 visual artists transform indoor and outdoor places into vibrant, interactive art spaces. The festival has partnered with more than 18 galleries, venues and events around Edmonton, including the Ortona Diaspora group exhibition, CO*LAB, SNAP, and more, extending the festival’s reach across the city. 

Festival-goers will experience everything from intimate, small-scale installations to massive, larger-than-life pieces, alongside immersive art activations that engage all the senses – sight, sound, and even smell! A live music stage will feature daily performances, adding an extra layer of energy to this FREE, family-friendly festival.
