WHY ART?
We are committed to supporting artists. We are committed to making art accessible. We are committed to building a strong and inclusive network of upcoming youth artists.
Our community functions as an educational and supportive extension for the artists who join our art collective. We hope to work alongside artists to build platforms and opportunities for them to share their creative passions freely.
Our mission is to strengthen the fine arts within our community. We offer affordable classes, workshops and gatherings for students of all levels; from photography walks to breath and meditation workshops to multi-cultural dinner events.
THESE ARE OUR FIVE AREAS OF FOCUS:
Listen & Observe.
Approach artists with respect and care in order to understand their needs. Accordingly we work with the ones we know we can actively benefit, and provide resources/re-direct the ones that are beyond our expertise.
Support & Advocate.
International students & immigrants.
Empower, Support & Employ
Those that cannot yet access a variety of opportunities, and help to achieve their creative goals.
Awareness
Working in conjunction with Social Campaigns.
Action
Providing spaces and workshops for rest (as a form of resistance), and to support the health of our communities. Creating imaginative modes of public togetherness; awakening a sensitivity towards local policies, spiritual practices and ecological initiatives. Encouraging a shift away from industrial/mass produced forms of consumptions and towards local, organic and simplified modes of living.
