MABELLEarts with Leah Houston
MABELLEarts is a Jumblies Theatre offshoot project in Etobicoke’s Mabelle neighbourhood under the artistic direction of Leah Houston. MABELLEarts projects celebrate the possibilities of transient, makeshift and imperfect spaces that make room for creative activity and transformation. We believe that the act of making beautiful a shared space, object or event is essential to the role of the artist and the promise of urban renewal. This has always been the role of art - to enliven communities, spark conversations and engender a sense of shared ownership and power in places of marginalization and decay. With Leah Houston, Artistic Director Prepared by Liz Forsberg for the Neighbourhood Arts Network.
