\u00ab\u00a0Art to the Streets is a program that has grown from a partnership between Community Arts and Heritage Education Project, a non-profit arts education and community arts organization in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Evergreen A United Neighbourhood, a community organization providing programs for the diverse Simpson Ogden neighbourhood of Thunder Bay.<\/p>\n

Beginning in October 2013, Art to the Streets has brought over 20 multidisciplinary projects and more than 70 hours of arts education programming with a focus on visual art, cultural programming, and new media arts to the children, youth and families of the Simpson Ogden neighbourhood. Over 300 children, youth and caregivers have participated in the program since its start-up, and the enthusiasm for the arts within the neighbourhood has been growing ever since. Numerous local arts educators have provided some fantastic workshops including:<\/p>\n
