I own a private gallery- ACA Gallery, art can change the world website.
I took on the financial responsibility to make art accessible plus an incubator for art and social change. Okay- heres the challenge- I have the place available to help out- my mandate no funding so whoever is interested in setting up or volunteering drop me a line through my website.
Talk is cheap- lets get out and do something.

Here is her website...Her gallery is located at Jarvis and Queen which is a rocking location...I'm going to phone Carol Mark right now, but I have NO IDEA when she posted this comment...I feel terrible...but doesn't she have super feisty attitude, I think I like her already.
As far as a drop-in visual literacy or art program goes, I've had some fantastic responses within churh organizations. How strange is that folks? I mean, a gallery like the AGO you would have thought if only for the media attention would have hugged and kissed me and thanked me for such a good outreach program. But in amongst the homeless, downtrodden, beat dejected, fucked up, lost, struggling and most of all...compassionate has shown a willingness to get somethign GOING! The Outreach program where I work has shown complete interest in setting up an arts program. I have appontments with art supply stores to donate paints, good paints! And canvas. So what a great storm of inspiration to find this comment today from a gallery in Toronto.
Okay...I'm going to go contact Carol Mark right now, I'll let you know how it goes...
I'M SO EXCITED! It goes to show, dream, and wait for opportunity to show! WOW! And if you can bring art back into the church - well, that makes me want to weep!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope it went well!!!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what happens with The AGO (love that museum btw).
As a teen (I grew up near down town TO), that was one of my favorite places to go. I saw THE SCREAM when it came and the Impressionists exhibit. Very awesome place. I have spent many hours there, while other teenagers were out at the movies or shopping. Of course that was a decade ago ... man I'm getting old.
