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 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.
