Making Change

CALLING ALL ARTISTS

Making Change invites you to be part of a powerful community art experience as we gather creative inspiration for our upcoming Black Healthcare Professionals brochure serving Simcoe County.

We’re calling on artists, whether emerging or experienced, or simply passionate, to explore this question: What inspires you as an artist when you think about Black health, wellness, and care?

Workshop Dates:
Tuesday, June 9, 5 - 7 pm
Saturday, June 13, 1 - 3 pm
MacLaren Art Centre

Together, we’ll reflect, create, and contribute ideas that will help shape the visual identity of a resource designed to support our community in accessing culturally meaningful healthcare.

Time for some meaningful connections and conversations.

Making Change received a microgrant from Alectra Utilities to create a brochure listing Black Healthcare Professionals who serve Simcoe County.

There will be an art workshop for amateur artists to work on the brochure's design and layout. Facilitated by local artist Andrew Mattis, of Innisfil, who is a multi-disciplinary visual artist in Innisfil, who works primarily in oil paintings.

When completed, the brochures will also be distributed throughout Simcoe County to key locations where Black communities gather, access information and connect.

We’re calling on artists, whether emerging or experienced, to explore this question:

Forest Hill Public School held a family community event this past Wednesday. They highlighted the creative works students had done with our Art Engagement Project that focused on Inclusion & Diversity.

Thank you to our incredible art mentors and anti-racism presenters for covering all the classes.

Students engaged with visual arts, poetry, dance, photography and music to look at how they can change the narrative through the arts.
