I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity that could be a dream come true for an artist-run group, gallery owner, arts collective, or nonprofit looking to grow, evolve, or launch something brand new in one of Alberta’s most charming and culturally rich communities — Camrose.
We currently have a freestanding commercial building with 11,000 sq ft of usable space over two levels and high ceilings located right in the heart of downtown Camrose. This walkable, character-filled corridor is surrounded by historic charm, cultural landmarks, and new development. Whether you imagine a gallery, maker space, studio hub, retail venue, or multi-use event centre, the canvas is blank and the possibilities are wide open.
🖼️ Why Camrose?
- Home to the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, Camrose Art Society, two museums, and multiple community theatres
- A thriving and growing artist + maker community
- Close to the University of Alberta - Augustana Campus and CLBI, with strong demand for arts programming from the homeschool network
- A trading area of over 100,000 people, with rising demand for experiential + cultural spaces
- Perfectly located between Edmonton and Calgary, not far from Red Deer or the Saskatchewan border — ideal for regional programming
This building is more than just expansive walls and high ceilings — it’s a creative launchpad ready to host:
🎨 Studio rentals & workshops
🖌️ Artist residencies & gallery exhibits
🛍️ Handmade retail & artisan markets
📚 Book launches, auctions & cultural events
🔧 A maker space for youth, homeschoolers & community initiatives

If this vision sparks something for you or your organization, I’d love to connect. And if it’s not quite the right fit, please consider sharing with someone who might be searching for their next big creative home base.
Thank you for supporting Alberta’s vibrant arts and culture community.
Warmly,
Carmen Krause
