360 degrees of Awesome

9/27/2015

0 Comments

 
Awesome Arts | Arts en folie is a free program developed by MASC, a charitable organization with a passionate commitment to provide schools and communities with experiences of artistic excellence and creative process.

​The program has been offered in our community for the past five years, variously in partnership with the Lowertown Community Resource Centre (LCRC), Patro d’Ottawa and the Centre de services Guigues.

When developing a new program for participants, Awesome Arts en folie takes a 360-degree view. At the core is an issue worth exploring. Guides representing the three facets of the arts—visual, literary and performing—are engaged to mentor participants in the creation of artworks that, in turn, are presented to an audience, thereby completing the circle.

This fall, Awesome Arts en folie is running a Nature Sound Recording Workshop in partnership with the LCRC and Fieldwork, an art collective in Maberly, Ontario. On Saturday, September 26, 16 youths headed out to Fieldwork in Maberly to record nature sounds with Chad Clifford. They then worked on site with music producer Sergio Guerra, to mix the nature sounds with different beats that the youths create with a drum machine. It was a really great creative outing in the country mixing urban and rural elements.

​Awesome Arts en folie also ran a wildly successful program last spring, involving 200 participants ranging in age from five to 95 years old.

The purpose was to draw the community together through creative and artistic process with a final showcase at the end of the program.

We've been yarn-bombed

Written by Michelle Ramsay-Borg; photos by Greta Grip

Waller Mall, which runs between Rideau and George east of Dalhousie, was yarn-bombed on February 10th by Lowertown resident Greta Grip. The art installation, which is supported by the City of Ottawa, is meant to be up until the end of March. Greta recounts that while she was putting up the yarn sleeves, a man asked if he could take one tonight if he's cold. Greta, who is as warm and welcoming as her work, said yes. By the way, wasn't the sky an impossible blue today?
