Collaboration Project For Artists and Presenters in Parry Sound

Arts presenters and artists have an opportunity for a new transformative role in Parry Sound.

Arts Engage Canada is encouraging artists and presenters in communities around Canada to collaborate and tell the story of the community through collaborative art.

artsengagecanada.ca has been created to strengthen and sustain the ability to bring community engagement into the work of presenters and artists. The website provides a knowledge framework of community engagement processes, resources, skills, tools, links and examples of community engaged works from artists and presenters. This user-based content will allow presenters to develop their own community engagement projects, take risks and engage new community participants. The goal of the website is to both strengthen the practice of community engagement as well as to support the development of a community of practice on community engagement. The success of Arts Engage Canada depends on the willingness of presenters and artists to share their examples, including both the successes and the challenges around their community engagement projects.
