What is The Forum?

The Forum is an immersive creative venue in Red Deer designed for events, performances, programs, and play. It’s a flexible, movement-first space where artists, facilitators, organizations, and the community come to create experiences that are felt, not just attended.

How is The Forum different from a gym or a traditional venue?

Before 2020, The Forum operated primarily as a movement gym. Today, we focus on collaboration – supporting facilitators, hosting events, producing original experiences, and offering Open Play. Instead of everything being run by us, the space is now a platform for many creators and communities to bring their work to life.

What are the different ways I can use the space?

There are four main pathways:

  • Host an Event
  • Run a Program
  • Perform or Create
  • Play & Explore (Open Play and community experiences)
How do I get started?

Submit an inquiry through the website with as much detail as you can about your event, program, or creative project. From there, we’ll guide you through the next steps, availability, and the best pathway for your idea.

TEN YEARS OF THE FORUM

10 years of big ideas, hard work, incredible humans and more than a few moments where where the vision felt bigger than the resources we had at the time.
From dragging kettlebells to local parks to what The Forum is today, the heart of this place has never wavered. Our belief in curiosity, community, creativity and giving people permission to play is the foundation of who we are.
