\nARTS FOR ALL INSTITUTE: Oppen-Art<\/a><\/strong>

\n488 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2nd Downtown Eastside Arts For All Institute- Oppen-Art<\/strong><\/a> is a five day intensive course that combines community art leadership training with participation in a community art project. It\u2019s all inspired by plans for historic Oppenheimer Park as a place for growing, learning, art and healing.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the morning, the institute will provide a small group of participants with in-depth leadership training in the principles and practices of community-engaged art; the tremendous value it has for community; and things you need to know to launch your own project. Activities include presentations, discussions, hands-on art-making, creative explorations and resources to take home.<\/p>\n

During the afternoon, participants join a larger community workshop to collaboratively generate designs, ideas, stories, music and food that celebrate Oppenheimer Park, gardens, healthy food, right-to-food initiatives and indigenous plants. The week culminates with a feast for all participants during which the week\u2019s activities will be shared, performed and documented.<\/p>\n
