11th Edmonton Creative Art Fair Celebrates Young Artists and Student Creativity
The 11th Edmonton Creative Art Fair, organized by Creative Dreamers Foundation, took place on June 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Ice Palace in West Edmonton Mall. The event brought together young artists, students, local creators, and families for a day of art and creative exploration.
Approximately 500 students aged 4–18 participated in the annual Edmonton Children’s Art Contest. Revealed on site, this year’s theme, “Me — Show Who You Are Through Art,” encouraged participants to express their identities through their artwork while incorporating at least six different objects.
The Children’s Art Exhibition, presented by Hanul Art School, featured 280 artworks by students aged 4–18, highlighting their individual perspectives, imagination, and artistic growth.
New this year, the Student Creative Showcase was developed from high school students’ ideas to provide a platform for their peers. Seven student teams presented original projects, products, and experiences, gaining practical experience in planning, public presentation, and managing their own initiatives.
Additional attractions included a coding fair, a local artists’ Art Walk, handmade craft vendors, and interactive art activities, offering visitors opportunities to discover and participate in different forms of creativity.
The event was made possible through sponsorship from accountant Bok Jin-soo, Doz Yaggey Lee LLP, and Hanul Art School, among others. West Edmonton Mall also provided substantial support and helping bring the event to the community.
Now in its 11th year, the fair continues to discover and support artistic talent among Edmonton’s children and youth. Creative Dreamers Foundation expressed its appreciation to the participants, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters whose contributions made the event possible.
