In response to the COVID-19 crisis, community engaged-artists have been devising new ways of bringing communities together in remote time and place. For some, these virtual channels for participatory art-making have made programming accessible where it wouldn\u2019t have been before. For others, these changes present new barriers to participation, amplifying and compounding existing ones. What resources, tools and processes can artists build into their practice to better address access barriers, including how to help mitigate learning curves associated with shifting to digital platforms? Panelists will share key learnings and reflections from their recent experience adapting their programming. We will also discuss and explore the opportunities in all of this to address issues of accessibility, equity and inclusion within the field of community-engaged art which pre-date this crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A panel discussion with Rachel Gray and Stephanie Nadeau (BEING Studio); Emily Jones Joanisse (Connected Canadians); and Seanna Connell (ArtBridges & ArtHeart Community Arts Centre)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the panelist organizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEING Studio<\/strong><\/a> is a community of artists with developmental disabilities. At BEING, artists have access to the space, the tools, and the representation to create and commercialize their visual art and creative writing. BEING has been continually adapting to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, and recently launched a virtual program called BEING Home. The virtual program offers facilitated chat sessions, home art supply deliveries and video prompts to inspire art projects from home.  What felt at first like a lifeline for our community has begun to open a world of possibility and expanded connection that we never thought possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connected Canadians<\/a><\/strong> is a federally incorporated non-profit organization established in 2018 to help connect older adults with free technology training and support. Many Connected Canadians volunteers are new Canadians who are highly skilled technology workers, collectively they speak 12 languages. Volunteers benefit from the cultural awareness and conversational practice opportunities that come from their interaction with clients, and clients feel a sense of pride and connection in helping to welcome newcomers into the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la crise de COVID-19, les artistes d’art communautaire engag\u00e9 ont d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 de nouvelles m\u00e9thodes pour rassembler les communaut\u00e9s \u00e0 distance. Pour certains, ces voies virtuelles de cr\u00e9ation artistique participative ont rendu des programmes accessibles l\u00e0 o\u00f9 ils ne l’auraient pas \u00e9t\u00e9 auparavant. Pour d’autres, ces changements pr\u00e9sentent de nouveaux obstacles \u00e0 la participation, aggravant et compliquant ceux qui existent d\u00e9j\u00e0. Quels sont les ressources, les outils et les processus dont les artistes peuvent se servir dans leur d\u00e9marche pour mieux r\u00e9pondre aux barri\u00e8res d’acc\u00e8s, notamment en ce qui concerne les courbes d’apprentissage associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la transition vers les plateformes num\u00e9riques ? Les pan\u00e9listes feront part des principaux apprentissages et r\u00e9flexions de leur r\u00e9cente exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 adapter leur programmation. Nous discuterons et explorerons \u00e9galement les possibilit\u00e9s, dans tout cela, d’aborder les questions d’accessibilit\u00e9, d’\u00e9quit\u00e9 et d’inclusion dans le domaine de l’art communautaire engag\u00e9, qui sont bien ant\u00e9rieures \u00e0 cette crise actuelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une table ronde avec Rachel Gray et Stephanie Nadeau (BEING Studio); Emily Jones Joanisse (Connected Canadians); et Seanna Connell (ArtBridges et ArtHeart Community Arts Centre).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les pr\u00e9sentations auront lieu en anglais, suivies d’une s\u00e9ance de questions et r\u00e9ponses organis\u00e9e en anglais et en fran\u00e7ais. Une \u00ab\u00a0fiche-conseils\u00a0\u00bb sera disponible dans les deux langues apr\u00e8s l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
