What is Bridge Songs?

The fifth annual Bridge Songs is coming to Edmonton this June 17-19.

This music and arts experience will feature two nights of live music, an album release, two art galleries, spoken word and artist workshops.

Here’s how Bridge Songs works. A theme is chosen, and announced to a group of collaborators consisting of songwriters and artists. This group begins writing songs and creating art inspired by this theme. A collection of songs is chosen by the songwriters, and, as the Bridge Songs Collective, they get to work refining and recording those songs. Meanwhile, a Call for Submissions is released to bring in art from the community at large.

The Bridge Songs Collective performs

The goal is that a dialog is created between the artists and the community through the creation and enjoyment of art. Themes explored range from the serious to the playful, drawing in work and audiences from a broad range of genres and demographics. The end result is a truly collaborative, community driven, one of a kind arts experience.

Bridge Songs takes place amidst the blossoming arts community of Alberta Avenue, and seeks to be a part of the revitalization happening there. This year’s event is sponsored by Urban Bridge Church, iLoveArtists, City Centre Church, Taylor Seminary and The Parish Church of St.Stephen the Martyr. We are also grateful for support from the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts, Arts on The Ave and many wonderful individuals.
