Our work

Edmonton Art Crawl

September 2026 · Edmonton

What it was

A free three-day arts festival produced by CIVIQ Labs with Edmonton Mural Festival.

Who it was for

CIVIQ Labs, and two audiences at once: students, families and young creatives, and established art collectors.

What we did

As experiential marketing lead, we created the visual sub-brand and creative direction for the festival programming and ran the digital marketing: daily content, paid social and Eventbrite campaigns.

We designed and produced the Saturday program at The Parks: a five-person panel on art's role in community and social impact, moderated by Nif, with a live community workshop; a timed live painting competition with four local artists; and live jazz.

We also shaped the collector experiences, "Inside the Chaos" at MacCosham Lofts with Glen Renold and the Community Canvas at Uncommon Gallery.
