THE EDGEWISE ELECTROLIT CENTRE is a non-profit literary arts
organization whose mandate is to make poetry accessible to all members
of society through a variety of media and educational programs.

Since 1994, we have bridged the "digital divide" and employed technology
to widen the audience for Canadian art, literature specifically. We
provide poets, multi-media artists, youth and the public with a forum
and the opportunity to use, learn and create via technological means.
Our three main current programs are the live and interactive
videoconferenced reading series, Telepoetics©, the EEC web site and
e-zine, the Edgewise Café, and the Vancouver Videopoem Festival, all of
which lend visual impact to the word and help raise the profile of
Canadian poets and poetry.

The Edgewise aims to demystify and expand technology and new media. We
also encourage experimentation with electronic media in the literary
arts and function as a research site as well, to observe how art and
media interact, to explore technology and aesthetics.

The Edgewise ElectroLit Centreís "visionary" programs have been covered
by the Bravo Arts Channel, the CBC, VTV, CTV, and featured in articles
in Arts Vancouver, the Loop, Courier, Vancouver Sun, Province, Georgia
Straight and Globe & Mail newspapers.
