Session: City WithART
Friday, November 5, 2010
Location: Fort Garry Hotel
A city with art has the power to create social change. The contemporary, cultural experience of living in a city is as layered and multifaceted as the citizens that city embraces. This panel will explore projects that engage both community groups and artists. The combination of the community members’ experiences and voices and the expertise and creative expression of the artists, allow for the exploration of urban issues and ideas in an authentic and unique way. Specific interventions and interactive initiatives and the resulting impacts on communities and cultural organizations will be highlighted and examined.
