When participants ask for an arts project to take place, our staff and volunteers find a way to bring it to life. We emphasize the importance of listening to, responding to, and being inspired by those who join us in the space, especially those who are not always heard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Working in a vacant storefront in Victoriaville Mall, we engage 20-40 people each week. People of all experience levels, from those who have never tried artmaking before, to seasoned artists, join us. From young families, to youth, to seniors, we work inclusively, aiming to create an environment where everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Projects that have taken place include shadow puppetry, painting projects, miniature-sculpture, graffiti arts, and storytelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The arts provide an approachable opportunity for people and communities to build stronger roots. Creating in a safe space can foster leadership, encourage healthy risk-taking, nurture collaboration, and share stories that have not yet been told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Goals are to:<br \/>\n\u2013 Foster collaboration and sharing of stories.<br \/>\n\u2013 Work with local artists who are positive role models.<br \/>\n\u2013 Increase positive activities in the area.<br \/>\n\u2013 Listen and respond to the needs of community members.<br \/>\n\u2013 Encourage people to work together and build stronger peer support systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Take Action:<br \/>\nWe always welcome donations that will help support the continuation of this space. Volunteers with clear police record checks with vulnerable sector screening are always welcome. Volunteers can assist artists with projects, help with set-up\/clean-up, and work together with participants in the space.
