Michael Burtt, Jumblies associate and former intern, has just launched a beautiful website for his MAKING ROOM community arts project in Parkdale.

On Saturday, February 12, 2011 come share the warmth of A Light in Mid Winter, a neighbourhood parade moving through the heart of Etobicoke.

Stories of migration move across borders and boundaries, through the air and across time, travelling through the streets of Etobicoke in a parade that reflects the diverse beauty of our city.

Join MABELLEarts and co-conspirators from across Toronto as we light up the night with the art that builds community.  Warm your belly, warm your heart, spark your imagination, or a new friendship.  Meet your neighbours and become a part of the story.

On January 27th, on the ice and inside the Lakeside Terrace of Harbourfront Centre, Jumblies celebrated our interns and mentors over 4 years of developing the Jumblies Studio, our itenerant and integrated program for learning and mentorship in arts that engage with and create community, and 10 years of our company’s existence. We also celebrated an new Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to Arts4All. Thanks to Melanie Fernandez and Harbourfront Centre for hosting the event, to all the good friends and supporters who attended, and  to all the funders who have made this work possible – including the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation, the Toronto Community Foundation, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, The Toronto Arts Council, and the Toronto Funding Network through Tides Canada.
