ON NOW! Creativity rocks!

Creativity rocks!

Presented with The Milkweed Collective
Jan 25 – Apr 30, 2012
Reception, Apr 11, 2012 6 – 8:30pm


The vibrant drawings, poems and stories of twenty-four students in Grades 2 – 8 from five Etobicoke schools are now brightening the Arts Etobicoke Gallery.

These aspiring artists created their pieces as a part of "Exploring Creativity In Depth" (ECiD) – a collaborative project of Arts Etobicoke, Neilson Park Creative Centre and the Milkweed Collective, directed by Dr. Austin Clarkson.

Exploring Creativity In Depth is a unique workshop program designed to stimulate the child’s creativity and imagination by reflective viewing of a picture in an art gallery, making original drawings with oil pastels, and writing poems and stories about their drawings.

Join us for a special reception on April 11 where the children will celebrate their creativity with performances, and as a part of National Poetry Month, honour our Art Alley poetry mural that was produced in 2010 with City of Toronto Poet Laureate Dionne Brand for Amnesty International’s Project: Urban Canvas.
