Common Ground

Warm tea, warm fires, warm hearts! Common Ground was a colourful 'pop up village' in Edmonton's historic inner city, featuring distinctive heritage shelters, including tupic, wattle, tent and tipi. A great range of art, culture, drum, song and story brought a diverse community together in the deep of winter - over 500 people dropped by to visit the wonderful artists and community programmers who made it happen.
