Our Initiatives
The Eastside Arts Society (EAS) is committed to building capacity for, and advocating for, underrepresented and self-represented visual and performing artists, working towards ensuring artists receive CARFAC fees for their professional artistic contributions and have access to safe and affordable artmaking spaces. Further, EAS connects our artists with the community via programming and festivals to engage about art and artmaking to further deepen the public’s understanding and appreciation of the visual arts.
As part of our commitment, the EAS delivers programming & initiatives such as:
