The North Edmonton Sculpture Workshop (NESW) is an artist collective, or artist-run initiative, centred on a co-operative shared studio in Edmonton, Alberta, focused on "the creation and promotion of ambitious contemporary sculpture made using industrial processes and materials".[1][2][3][4][5][6][excessive citations] The NESW name makes a symbolic reference to the cardinal directions in allusion to the idea of boundless exploration.[7]
