Happy New Year!

Dear friends in community-engaged arts!

We hope that this new year finds you and yours in good health and spirits–despite all of the challenges of living and working through a pandemic.

We apologize for the lag in blog posts over the past few weeks. The ArtBridges website and blog needed some necessary upgrades to be able to move forward. Our website is reaching its “end of life” at 7 years! but with some digital attention and a “plan B approach” we’re able to continue with a second wind.

We look forward to highlighting what’s going on in community-engaged arts across Canada again this year. Through the day-to-day blog posts we gather and share, a story unfolds about how people are pivoting their arts initiatives and working within the confines of the pandemic and its restrictions. We’ve all had to find new ways to work in community-engaged arts and keep up capacity as best as we can.

We’d like to hear from you! Please email in stories, pictures or posts about your community-engaged arts initiatives, stories and opportunities. Perhaps they’ll inspire others! Perhaps you’ll find some support, idea or opportunity you’re looking for too.

Stay healthy, creative and hopeful!!!

Sincerely,

Seanna Connell, on behalf of the ArtBridges team
