“How I want to – Omar & Rowan”

Let’s zoom in on a captivating scene in our tapestry – “How I want to – Omar & Rowan,” a project featuring the incredible talents of children and youth from the After School Arts Program (ASAP) in collaboration with the talented artist educator, Mother Tareka. 

This piece is more than just a creative expression; it is a statement about the right “to know about and practice my culture” as expressed by children and youth in Hamilton as part of the Hamilton Charter of Rights of Children and Youth.

It is also a testament to the growth and expansion of Arts For All in the past years. This collaboration celebrates the richness of culture and individual expression, weaving a melody that resonates with the heartbeat of our community. It’s a testament to the transformative power of the arts in the lives of our young artists and the collective spirit that binds us all.
