Where are the creative heartbeats in your community?

November 15, 2011

Community meetings will be held in St. Jamestown, Malvern and Weston/Mount Dennis as the first stage of a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada research grant led by Toronto Arts Foundation in partnership with ArtStarts, OCADU and York University.


Thursday December 8th 7:00 to 8:45 pm Wellesley Community Centre 495 Sherbourne St. (near Wellesley & Sherborne)	Friday December 9th 3:45 to 5:30 pm Weston Library 2 King St. (closest intersection Lawrence and Weston Rd.)	Monday December 12th 5:00 to 7 pm Malvern Recreation Centre 30 Sewells Rd. (near Sheppard & Neilsen)

People who work and live in the area are invited to share their stories, ideas, and knowledge of arts activity in their neighbourhood. We want to know how people participate in the arts and what they consider arts activity – music, spoken word, classical dance, poetry, visual arts, hip hop, theatre, knitting, storytelling, crafts, photography, digital arts, and more.

We want to discover where art is going on – galleries, theatres but also homes, courtyards, church basements, community centres, parks and alleys. We want to know how residents find out what’s going on, how new ideas and groups are emerging, and why arts are important at a neighbourhood level.

Everyone welcome! Free Event! Food! Fun activities! Learn more about arts advocacy!
