We are pleased to announce the recipients of
ArtBridges’ Seventh Annual Recognition Awards!<\/strong>
The awards highlight remarkable work in community-engaged arts in Canada in three categories: Innovation! Resiliency! and Creativity!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awards process:<\/strong> Early in the year, we put out a call for community-engaged arts initiatives, community partners, and ArtBridges Member initiatives to participate in award nominations. We asked for submissions that highlighted stories of innovation, resiliency, and creativity. As clearly demonstrated in the incredible nominations, amazing work continues to happen in this field. Our hope is that these stories may be an inspiration. Perhaps new connections will be made, ideas spawned and amplified, and support generated. The awards jury was composed of three active leaders in community arts in Canada from Thessalon (ON), Yellowknife (NWT), and Toronto (ON).The recipient organizations receive a certificate and an award of $300. The Awards are generously sponsored by the Ruth Mandel \u2013 WHO GIVES FUND. Thank you to all who shared your incredible stories. Bravo!<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Art for Aid has been working with I Love First Peoples to create and implement The Sew & Sew Skills Lab program for remote Indigenous schools in northern Canada. In partnership with Janome Canada, we ship new sewing machines and a full compliment of program supplies to schools. Sewing is a remarkable skill that can bring benefit to an entire community. The Sew & Sew Skills Lab is one of several programs we are building to encourage skills based learning for young people. To date we have launched our program in Pond Inlet and Igloolik in Nunavut and in Nain and Natuashish in Northern Newfoundland. We are on track to launch the program in Garden Hill, Manitoba and in Kitigan Zibi (Maniwaki), Ontario.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkable Creativity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenue au monde<\/a><\/strong>
Cowansville, QC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0‘Bienvenue au monde’ is a free project offered to parents who welcomed their baby in the context of COVID-19. Five free workshops are offered to parents along with a book with the works of art created. This innovative project meets many goals: first, it creates a space and time dedicated to creative expression through words, images and metaphors and a sharing space for parents who lived this complex experience. ‘Bienvenue au monde’ is a project of \u00c9dith Cambrini, an artist who delivered her first child in June 2020. It has been offered since Summer 2021 in collaboration with Quebec ministry of Culture and Communications, City of Cowansville et and the Foundation of the Hospital of Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins. It is also supported by all community stakeholders (community and paragovernmental organizations, businesses, etc.). ‘Bienvenue au monde’ is a local initiative in the administrative region of Estrie, but it received a great media coverage as well as scientific and artistic recognition, locally as well as internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkable Resiliency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Piece of Mind Collective<\/a><\/strong>
Montr\u00e9al, QC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Piece of Mind is a participatory art-science initiative in which neuroscientists, performing artists and people affected by Parkinson’s disease or dementia co-created interdisciplinary and multimedia performances based on the scientific research and lived experience of these diseases. When the project was first envisioned in 2019, the goal was to bring researchers, dancers, circus acrobats, musicians, affected individuals and caregivers together underneath the same roof, to facilitate knowledge exchange and empathy through the arts\u2014after all, what better way to bridge these seemingly disparate communities than to move and be creative together? When we received a \u00ab\u00a0Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives\u00a0\u00bb grant just at the onset of the pandemic, we had to quickly reimagine how to adjust the participatory nature of project, as well as the resulting performances, to the new and ever-shifting COVID-19 restrictions\u2014particularly given that we were working with vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To our surprise, shifting our dance and music workshops to Zoom came with certain advantages. Not only did it facilitate participation from various geographical locations, but it also allowed us to meet as humans rather than as our predetermined roles coming into the project. Once the awkwardness of seeing ourselves move in our respective little squares wore off, there was something endearing about watching hands and faces dance across the screen, and not knowing which belonged to a dancer, neuroscientist, or person with Parkinson\u2019s disease. \u201cResilience\u201d soon became a keyword in our Zoom sessions; not only did it characterize the participants\u2019 strength in the face of, but it also described the powerful group bond we created by pushing our boundaries, openly sharing our experiences, and being genuinely curious to learn from others. Finding new ways to build community and co-create in a virtual context allowed us to develop a thick skin in light of the many challenges we faced, all while breaking down the walls between us.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Art for Aid collabore avec I Love First Peoples pour cr\u00e9er et mettre en \u0153uvre le programme du laboratoire de comp\u00e9tences Sew & Sew pour les \u00e9coles autochtones isol\u00e9es du nord du Canada. En partenariat avec Janome Canada, nous envoyons aux \u00e9coles de nouvelles machines \u00e0 coudre et un ensemble complet de fournitures pour le programme. La couture est une comp\u00e9tence remarquable qui peut apporter des b\u00e9n\u00e9fices \u00e0 une communaut\u00e9 enti\u00e8re. Le laboratoire de comp\u00e9tences Sew & Sew est l’un des nombreux programmes que nous mettons en place pour encourager l’apprentissage des comp\u00e9tences chez les jeunes. \u00c0 ce jour, nous avons lanc\u00e9 notre programme \u00e0 Pond Inlet et Igloolik, au Nunavut, ainsi qu’\u00e0 Nain et Natuashish, dans le nord de Terre-Neuve. Nous sommes sur la bonne voie pour lancer le programme \u00e0 Garden Hill, au Manitoba, et \u00e0 Kitigan Zibi (Maniwaki), en Ontario. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 remarquable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenue au monde<\/a><\/strong>
Cowansville, QC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Bienvenue au monde est un projet gratuit offert aux parents qui ont accueilli leur b\u00e9b\u00e9 dans le contexte de la COVID-19. Cinq ateliers artistiques gratuits sont offerts aux parents ainsi qu\u2019un recueil des oeuvres cr\u00e9\u00e9es. Ce projet innovant rencontre plusieurs objectifs. Essentiellement, il s\u2019agit de la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019un espace-temps d\u2019expression cr\u00e9ative par la parole, les images et les m\u00e9taphores & de rencontre pour les parents ayant v\u00e9cu ces exp\u00e9riences complexes.

Bienvenue au monde est l\u2019initiative de l\u2019artiste \u00c9dith Cambrini, qui a accouch\u00e9 de son premier enfant en juin 2020. Il est offert, depuis l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2021, en collaboration avec le Minist\u00e8re de la Culture et des Communications du Qu\u00e9bec, la Ville de Cowansville et la Fondation de l\u2019H\u00f4pital Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins. Il est aussi soutenu par tous les acteurs de la communaut\u00e9 (communautaire, paragouvernemental, commercial, etc.). Bienvenue au monde est une initiative locale en Estrie au Qu\u00e9bec, mais il a re\u00e7u une belle attention m\u00e9diatique, scientifique et artistique et ce, tant au niveau local et international. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9silience remarquable <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Piece of Mind Collective<\/a><\/strong>
Montr\u00e9al, QC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Piece of Mind Collective est une initiative participative combinant les arts et la science dans laquelle des neuroscientifiques, des artistes de la sc\u00e8ne et des personnes touch\u00e9es par la maladie de Parkinson ou la d\u00e9mence ont cocr\u00e9\u00e9 des performances interdisciplinaires et multim\u00e9dia bas\u00e9es sur la recherche scientifique et l’exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue de ces maladies. Lorsque le projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 imagin\u00e9 en 2019, l’objectif \u00e9tait de r\u00e9unir sous le m\u00eame toit des chercheurs, des danseurs, des acrobates de cirque, des musiciens, des personnes atteintes et des soignants, afin de faciliter l’\u00e9change de connaissances et l’empathie par le biais des arts – apr\u00e8s tout, quel meilleur moyen de rapprocher ces communaut\u00e9s apparemment disparates que de bouger et d’\u00eatre cr\u00e9atif ensemble ? Lorsque nous avons re\u00e7u une subvention \u00ab Cerveau en sant\u00e9, gage d\u2019une vie en sant\u00e9 \u00bb juste au d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie, nous avons d\u00fb rapidement r\u00e9imaginer comment adapter la nature participative du projet, ainsi que les performances qui en r\u00e9sultent, aux nouvelles et changeantes restrictions entourant la COVID-19 – d’autant plus que nous travaillions avec des populations vuln\u00e9rables.

\u00c0 notre grande surprise, le d\u00e9placement de nos ateliers de danse et de musique vers Zoom a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 certains avantages. Non seulement cela a facilit\u00e9 la participation \u00e0 partir de divers lieux g\u00e9ographiques, mais cela nous a \u00e9galement permis de nous rencontrer en tant qu’\u00eatres humains plut\u00f4t qu’en fonction de nos r\u00f4les pr\u00e9d\u00e9termin\u00e9s au d\u00e9but du projet. Une fois pass\u00e9e la g\u00eane de nous voir bouger dans nos petits carr\u00e9s respectifs, il y avait quelque chose d’attachant \u00e0 regarder les mains et les visages danser sur l’\u00e9cran, sans savoir lesquels appartenaient \u00e0 un danseur, \u00e0 un neuroscientifique ou \u00e0 une personne atteinte de la maladie de Parkinson. Le terme \u00ab r\u00e9silience \u00bb est rapidement devenu un mot-cl\u00e9 dans nos s\u00e9ances Zoom ; non seulement il caract\u00e9risait la force des participants face \u00e0 l’adversit\u00e9, mais il d\u00e9crivait \u00e9galement le puissant lien de groupe que nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 en repoussant nos limites, en partageant ouvertement nos exp\u00e9riences et en \u00e9tant sinc\u00e8rement curieux d’apprendre des uns des autres. Trouver de nouvelles fa\u00e7ons de construire une communaut\u00e9 et de cocr\u00e9er dans un contexte virtuel nous a permis de d\u00e9velopper une bonne carapace \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re des nombreux d\u00e9fis auxquels nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9s, tout en brisant les murs entre nous. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
