In 2019, FAVA moved from its first home, the historic Ortona Armoury, to its current locaton: The Orange Hub. Formerly the MacEwan Arts Campus, The Orange Hub was purchased by the City of Edmonton to be turned into an affordable artist space. It is now home to over 20 tenants, including FAVA.
The Orange Hub rents out a 350 seat theatre, black box, board rooms, dance halls, and much more. It also offering parking, accessibility entrances, security and collection points for artists. Conveniently location by local restaurants, nearby transit centre, and a future LRT line, the Orange Hub is a great place for all artists in our community.
FAVA’s Studios
For all of the details, pictures, and rental rates please read the Studios Brochure.
FAVA rents production gear of all sorts from legacy formats to state of the art equipment: light, cameras, audio equipment, grip and gaf, film and video.
FAVA rents equipment and facilities for post production including: Davinci Resolve 5k suite, analogue film editing suites, darkroom, optical printing suite, audio mixing, and everything for projection and exhibition.
FAVA’s equipment is available to any member provided they show competency and safe use of the equipment. Mistreated or damaged equipment can result in hefty expenses for the co-op and suspension of rental privileges. Most equipment comes with instruction manuals. These manuals are obligatory reading when using any piece of equipment for the first time. In order to avoid situations of misuse with especially sensitive or expensive gear, members must display proficient and safe use to the Director of Production before renting the gear.
We want you to get out there and make media art. If there isn’t a class or a workshop covering what you are interested in learning, FAVA members can contact our Director of Programming at programming@fava.ca to set up one-on-one, member-to-member training through our Access to Artists program.
The Society established an endowment fund in 2012 and has contributed to it in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The fund is administered by the Edmonton Community Foundation. The purpose of the fund is to create an investment resource that will help sponsor artist training, production and distribution far into Alberta’s future.

Twenty FAVA Bucks are awarded for each volunteer hour worked. These Bucks can then be used to offset up to half of a member’s production invoices. FAVA Bucks will not be accepted for workshops, membership dues, film or tape purchase, or special events. Our system rewards those who contribute their energy and time to the organization, and gives opportunities to become immediately involved in the operations and projects of the co-operative.

FAVA TV developed through the ongoing efforts of FAVA Staff, FAVA Board of Directors, and the FAVA Membership to address the need to screen and promote valuable film and video works, especially those which may otherwise find limited access online. It’s a place for these works to live on – an archive of sorts, but also a very living collection and curation of arts. FAVA TV is aimed at sharing the works and profiles of members of our local and global film, video, and arts community.
