Artists in Neighbourhoods
Arts in Early Spaces
Artists in Neighbourhoods is an Arts For All approach to bringing professional and emerging artists into early learning and after school spaces across the greater Hamilton region—where children, youth, families, and educators live, learn, and gather.
Rooted in twenty five years of experience, the Arts For All Artists in Neighbourhood approach supports children’s many languages and ways of expression, strengthens capacities and relationships with artists and educators and ensures arts are a part of everyday life— not as an exception, but a shared practice.
Exploring the Years
Impact Map
This work is grounded in relationship, listening, and presence. Artists work alongside communities to create meaningful, Reggio inspired arts experiences. Embedded in sites over time, artists collaborate with educators and families responding to the ideas, questions, and cultures of each neighbourhood.
