\u00ab\u00a0About the Project:<\/strong>
\ngruntCraft is a visual arts based, youth engagement project, managed by Vancouver\u2019s grunt gallery. The project\u2019s goal is to develop a virtual art studio, in Minecraft, for youth participants. The studio program includes 3D printing workshops, mentorship and feedback from professional artists, and open house events in grunt gallery\u2019s media lab. The project will run from July to December 2014. Follow the development of the virtual studio on gruntCraft\u2019s YouTube channel and get project news at gruntCraft.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is MineCraft?<\/strong>
\nMinecraft is a \u201csandbox\u201d game, meaning it provides the user with a set of creative tools, rather than a narrative or goal based game. Users create a virtual 3D world pixel by pixel. This game is easy to learn but it also has an expanding capacity for building complex objects. It is incredibly popular across the world, users can work independently or in a collaborative environment.<\/p>\n

Looking for Youth Participants:<\/strong>
\ngruntCraft is looking for youth artists from ages 11-18. This project is a fantastic opportunity for young artists who want to explore and learn minecraft. Youth that are adept at video games and are familiar with minecraft are also encouraged to participate; they will find new ways of playing with their favourite game and working in this imaginative environment. Please email Demian at gruntcraftvancouver@gmail.com<\/a> for more information about applying to this program<\/p>\n
