EDAM is a contemporary dance company under the artistic directorship of Peter Bingham. EDAM's mandate is to provide a stable and fertile environment for the development of contemporary dance. The Company is deeply committed to the investigation of movement itself as an expressive art form. EDAM supports many possibilities for creative expression within the kinetic arts through the creation and production of choreography and through the practice and presentation of the art of improvisation. In addition to producing its own work, EDAM presents the work of guest choreographers and encourages collaborative projects with artists working in other disciplines.
Opus Art Supplies began as a small picture frame manufacturer over 35 years ago, designing its own frames and stocking framing supplies oriented towards the professional arts community. A great many of the relationships which we established early on have remained, as many of our long-term customers continue to shop with us to this day. We now stock ready-made frames, chop frames and mats, student and professional art supplies, a full range of unique arts and craft materials which we continue to expand plus a Digital Printing Service to take digital artwork and photographs from the screen to print.
