Exhibition and Culture Days Performance
September 1-30, 2015
Located in Richview Library, the exhibition featured vibrant drawings and writings from children and youth created during the Exploring Creativity in Depth™ sessions for James Culnan Catholic School and subsequent summer multi-arts programs that ran in 3 libraries and community centres. Led by the 7 emerging artists, children and youth were invited to dance, act, create music and visual art in the Culture Days performance.
The exhibition featured 102 vibrant drawings and other works of art created by 100+ Etobicoke students age 7-13. Pairs of drawings made during the ECiD sessions were mounted side by side to show the transformations that took place. Clay sculptures created by participants of the Exploring Nature and Imagination program were on display. Additionally, the self-portraits and visual journals created during the summer multi-arts programs were exhibited.
On September 26 and 27, the KUT team led the multi-arts performance, which engaged the Etobicoke community with two activities. In the entrance of Richview Library, a visual journal invited patrons to "Leave Your Mark" with pastels, collage materials and sidewalk chalk. On the second floor, patrons engaged with the Machine of Kreativity. Participants filled paper plates with arts and craft materials (e.g. markers, feathers and jewels), fed the Machine and watched an interpretive performance emerge.
The Kreativ U-turn team was grateful for the support of participants from James Culnan Catholic School and the summer arts camps who were in attendance. The team was glad to have received positive feedback from Nadira Pattison, Arts Services, City of Toronto and the community of Etobicoke.
