Art collecting, made personal.
The Cadmium Art Collective is an Edmonton-area community of painters, printmakers, fibre artists, and mixed-media creators who believe the experience of collecting art should feel personal and meaningful. What started as a few artists meeting over coffee has grown into a vibrant, collaborative group reshaping how people discover and connect with art in Alberta.
At Cadmium, connection is at the heart of everything we do. We create welcoming spaces where collectors, art lovers, interior designers, art advisors, and anyone who appreciates aesthetics can meet local artists directly, learn the stories behind the work, and build lasting relationships.
Our markets, pop-ups, and exhibitions are designed to make discovering original art approachable and enjoyable — whether you’re investing in your first piece, curating a project for a client, or simply exploring your love of beautiful things.
Personal connection changes everything:
When someone meets the maker, the artwork carries meaning, memory, and authenticity.
Personal connection brings richness and meaning to the art experience. For collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts, these relationships offer:
Confidence — knowing exactly where art comes from and who created it
Insight — understanding the inspiration, materials, and intention
Value — investing in artwork with emotional and cultural depth
Sustainability — directly supporting local artists and creative economies
Legacy — choosing pieces that hold long-term significance
People consistently tell us that these connections deepen their appreciation of art and help them build collections with character and soul.
Our exhibitions and events feature a wide range of mediums, styles, and price points — making it easy to find art that fits your taste, your space, and your budget.
People come for the artwork, but they stay for the experience:
A warm, welcoming atmosphere
Direct conversations with artists
High-quality original work at transparent prices
A curated yet diverse selection for every project or space
A chance to support Edmonton and Alberta artists in a meaningful way
Whether you're sourcing pieces for a home, a commercial space, or a design project, Cadmium events create an experience where art, connection, and aesthetic enjoyment come together.
For the art community, Cadmium represents generosity, collaboration, and long-term growth. Our members share skills, knowledge, resources, and opportunities so every artist — emerging or established — has a place to thrive.
Together, we bridge the worlds of:
art and design
creativity and commerce
artists and the people who champion them
This connection strengthens Alberta’s cultural landscape and keeps local art vibrant.
To support a culture of art collecting that feels personal, connected, and meaningful.
We uplift artists, welcome collectors and art lovers, and build community — one conversation, one relationship, and one artwork at a time.
