Edmonton | SEPTEMBER 24th

The Ministry of Arts, Culture and the Status of Women and Alberta Jubilee Society are proud to present Arts Education Day, a Culture Days experience.

The event will feature performances from the Jubilee's resident companies as well as other cultural groups in Edmonton.

This event is free to attend, but schools are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Please RSVP to confirm your spot.

To join us in person at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, please RSVP for General Admission seating for your entire party. This includes all students, teaching staff and volunteers so we can ensure you are all seated together. Additional event information will be provided once school resumes in September.

If you are located outside of Edmonton or unable travel to the Jubilee, we are happy to offer a livestreamed version of the concert. Please RSVP using the livestream ticket option and you will be sent a link to view the performance closer to the show date.

If you have any questions, please email Jocelyn at janselmo@albertajubileesociety.ca
