As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at ArtBridges.

HerStories is a « speaker series that showcases personal stories to foster female empowerment, connection and community. It’s about sharing the stories that make us feel more connected and less alone– the stories that we’re afraid to tell; the stories that we feel might reject us if we share but, really, only bring us closer together. »
