This portion of the website is divided into four parts. The professional association section examines the organizations founded specifically to support performing artists through training, representation, education and a variety of other services and visions. Under facilities, one is offered a closer look at the buildings Albertans associate most with their The Elton and Anne Foote Theatre School performing artists, including historical train stations as well as purpose built structures that utilize the latest technologies to enhance a performance. The granting institutions section includes government and private groups which offer awards and monetary compensation to artists as a way of promoting Alberta culture.
