Rumble House has been a safe haven for artists for years — somewhere to both create and witness art in its making, to experience a sense of community and family, while ultimately providing space to test boundaries and creativity. For artists Jess and Rich Théroux, it has always been important to provide an alternative to the more commercialized art scene in Calgary. The seeds of Rumble House were planted in Rich as a teenager by a seemingly unlikely source: Music on film.
Rumble House will be closing its doors at the end of this year, with the couple transitioning to their new project, Isle of Roux.
Tune into this week's Storytelling Podcast to hear more about the origins of Rumble House, how it helped make art more accessible in Calgary, how deep its community ties are and what's next for Rich and Jess Théroux.
