\u00ab\u00a0UrbanArts Community Arts Council<\/strong><\/a> is once again livening up the Weston- Mount Dennis neighbourhood and Toronto this summer with a full schedule of youth arts programming. The UrbanArts\u2019 team is leading everything from dance camps, speakers\u2019 series sessions and live music performances to mural painting and community beautification projects.<\/p>\n

CultureShock Festival<\/strong> \u2013 The highlight of the summer takes place on Thursday and Friday, August 9th & 10th from 5-7pm, with an art exhibit and film screening respectively at UrbanArts and culminates on Saturday August 11th from 3-9pm with our 8th Annual CultureShock Community Arts Festival, at the Weston Farmers\u2019 Market location at 14 John Street.\u00a0 This year, UrbanArts is teaming up with the popular 106 & York Urban Arts Festival<\/a> to present CultureShock.<\/p>\n

The festival, MC\u2019d by Comedian Trixx<\/strong> and Hip Hop pioneer Michie Mee<\/strong>, and headlined\u00a0 by R&B singer Shi Wisdom<\/strong> and electro-pop entertainer Trish<\/strong>, will also feature an array of local musical talent, spoken word, art show and sale, youth art activities, vendor & community booths, and of course great food. A special presentation will be made by Choreographer Anthony \u2018Prime\u2019 Guerra and the Afro Caribbean Dance Group<\/strong> featuring the Black Corps: War of 1812<\/strong> that chronicles the unheard story of 35 black men who fought and won fame during the war.\u00a0 The festival aims to profile the artistic community and to reflect UrbanArts\u2019 ongoing commitment of engaging youth and community development through the arts.<\/p>\n

UrbanArts<\/strong> is a non-profit Community Arts Council focused on enhancing neighbourhoods by engaging youth in community development through the arts.<\/strong>\u00a0 UrbanArts initiates arts activities that bring people together in central-west Toronto and citywide. One of four community arts councils serving Toronto, UrbanArts<\/strong> is an incubator for local arts, with a range of year-round programs for youth led by professional artists in visual arts, theatre, spoken word, dance music and leadership development.<\/p>\n
