From Event Organizer:
"ImagiNation Miscellany would like to extend our most gratitude for the opportunity APRIG has extended to our community. The workshops leading to our opening show were a success and the event on April 23rd was a glimpse of what the Edmonton community consist off. Thanks to your sponsorship and publicity extended to us, IM organizers were able to work with confidence, knowing that the work we are doing is valid and an important one to create an inclusive, safe and equitable community not only within the arts, but as a community as a whole.
The workshops were of great education and it gave our participants a safe place to discuss topics such as: identity, discrimination, belonging, and stigma, among many other topics. The workshops were also lead by experienced artist whom participants could learn new skills to help with their artistic practice moving forward. Workshops were a great way for participants to meet artists from different communities and find similarities within their artistic practice, collaborate and get to know each other on a more personal level.
The night of the showcase was full of visual art, performing arts, music and food. Folks were able to again, come together to explore topics that make our community diverse but with the intention of bringing people together, share that individuality yet celebrate those similarities.
IM witnessed that with the support of APRIG, artists and supporters felt confident to continue to work on their crafts but most importantly they have gained the confidence that they are talented, needed, and part of this community we call Edmonton. "
