MCBRIDE PARK STUDIO
LocoMotoArt joins Village Vancouver's field house residency at McBride Park 2019- 2021. Village Vancouver’s residency will have a food, gardening, and environmental focus. Both groups hope to create positive local responses to our climate change and food system challenges. LocoMotoArt will also present a series of community art projects and events related to food, art, nature and technology, and soundscape.
As part of the Field House Studio Program, artists Laura Lee Coles and Rob Scharein will announce open studio events, workshops, happenings and pop-ups.
"The Field House Studio Program places artists with community- engaged and social practices into neighbourhoods to create work in and with community. The program brings the arts as an integral part of everyday life, into Vancouver neighbourhoods. It creates space to invite community, colleagues and curious visitors to share in intimate creative processes with artists through daily, shared arts experiences that are social, cooperative and collaborative.
The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, confirms its mandate in recognizing that the arts are an essential element in a vital, creative and balanced city and seeks to actively facilitate participation in and access to the arts for all. The Park Board holds a vision of a city where the arts are an integral part of everyday life; where community cultural development processes strengthen civil society, where parks and community centres reflect the cultural vitality of the community and where people are able to learn and express creativity in ways that build healthy communities. By widening the multi-disciplinary urban discourse of community centered planning, by infusing art in “everyday,” the Artists in Field House Studio program advances Park Boards art policy that considers public space in terms of urban futures." Excerpts from Repurposing Urban Space: Arts as the Catalyst for Change, authored by Laura Lee Coles and jil p. weaving.
