Founded in 1973[1] by a collective of Edmonton artists. As far back as 1991, Latitude 53 has been heralded as "consistently been the most interesting, risk-taking public gallery in town for years."[2] In 2013, they relocated from their main floor space in the Great West Saddlery Building to their current home at 10242 - 106 Street in Edmonton.[3][4] Latitude 53 is a member of Alberta Association of Artist-run centres.[5]
