Keeping Live Performances Alive in Drayton Valley
The Eleanor Pickup Arts Centre (EPAC) exists because of community support.
Local businesses, organizations, and residents have helped bring live music performances, theatre, and cultural events to Drayton Valley, and Brazeau County — creating opportunities for people to gather, connect, and experience something special close to home.
Through sponsorships and donations, EPAC has welcomed performers such as Corb Lund, Brent Butt, and George Canyon, along with countless theatre productions, dance performances, and community events that might otherwise never reach a town our size.
Community and corporate support has helped make it possible to host [X number] performances, welcome visitors from outside the region, and give residents something meaningful to do right here in Drayton Valley.
We want to continue building a vibrant arts community — bringing people downtown, supporting local businesses, and creating shared experiences for families, friends, and visitors alike.
That simply isn’t possible without ongoing community support.
