Neighbourhood Spaces is an Artist in Residence (AIR) Program locating ten Canadian artists in community sites throughout Windsor and Essex County in Ontario, Canada. The program is a partnership of “the Collaborative”: Arts Council - Windsor & Region (ACWR), Broken City Lab (BCL) and The City of Windsor. Supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Neighbourhood Spaces embeds artists in various c
ommunity sites such as parks, nature reserves, libraries, health or community centres. These sites provide a “home base” for each artist to work during their residency, while also allowing the artist to take on diverse roles, engaging with community members in various ways to animate, explore and inspire the specific stories, curiosities, challenges and triumphs of the local community. Residencies will begin in summer 2013 and be staggered throughout the year, concluding in August 2014. A final exhibition and symposium will be held in the fall of 2014 and an online publication will be created documenting the program. For More Information, Visit: www.acwr.net/ns
