Eastern Edge, Contemporary art gallery in St. John's, Canada
Eastern Edge is a contemporary art gallery in St. John's operating two connected exhibition spaces that rotate shows throughout the year featuring Canadian and international artists. The venue presents a range of mediums and artistic approaches in its regularly changing programs.
