Arts For All Essentials
What is it?
- An intensive workshop on the principals, practices and underpinnings of art that engages with and creates community;
- Everything (or many things!) you need to know to launch your own project;
- A prelude to future work or internships with Jumblies,
- Open to artists and arts administrators of all ages, disciplines and traditions, from Toronto, across Canada and abroad, and also suitable for those from other professions with a special interest in community-engaged arts.
- A mixture of presentations, discussions, guest presenters, hands-on workshops, site visits, creative explorations and take-home resources.
