ECH COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTORS

 From 1983 to 1990 numerous artists exhibited at the Embassy Cultural House (ECH) in London, Ontario. These visual art exhibits were just an element of the programming held over the years including music concerts, film nights, performances, lectures, and social events. There was also an irregular tabloid newspaper that promoted and reviewed the programming at the Cultural House.

This dynamic community created wonderful energy and a cultural buzz in East London. As we re-envision the ECH a new generation of artists with a connection to London are coming together to celebrate the past and looking to the future. Please visit our contributors to see our rich and diverse cultural community.

OUR STORY
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

The Embassy Cultural House gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program.

The Embassy Cultural House (ECH) is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Chonnonton peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum and other treaties, colonized as London, Ontario. The ECH strives to create meaningful relationships between the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and our contributors. The ECH honours the stewardship of the many Indigenous peoples who have resided on these lands since time immemorial.
