We're so excited to begin our residency with the incredible Carnegie Community Centre!
This month we're focused on connecting with and getting input from everyone at the Centre: all the volunteers, staff, board and the wonderful people who use the space. We will also be chatting with people in the general community and getting a sense of what people want to see from this new residency!
The theme is "Our Connections" so it seems appropriate that this is how we're starting out!
So far, we've met the amazing board (and got them involved in a sample art activity), had a site tour and met some of the staff and volunteers that put so much of their heart into the amazing, vibrant space that is Carnegie Community Centre!
In the next bit, we hope to meet with as many people as we can so get in touch and let us know what you want to see happen in your community!
As artists we also love putting art into practice as soon as we can. So here's a photo of a community mapping activity we did with some of the staff and board at the Centre! Our question: What are the places of significance for you in the Downtown Eastside?
