RED BRICK ARTS CENTRE Serving Edson and area since 1913 As one of Edson’s oldest buildings, the Red Brick Arts Centre and Museum is a must see! Built in 1913, the Red Brick was one of Edson’s first schools and continued to serve the children of Edson until 1967 when it was closed down. It then become a bus barn for the school division but when a new facility was opened in the 80s, the future of the Red Brick was uncertain. A campaign to save the building started in 1985 and succeeded when the building was designated a municipal historical resource in 1987. 102 years after opening its doors, the Red Brick has become the town’s cultural cornerstone, complete with an art gallery, 141 seat theatre, dance studios, permanent art collection and a classroom museum.
