Community art initiatives are incredible tools for positive social change. The process of encouraging new waves of creativity in communities through art practice in turn opens up the possibility for bringing innovation to challenges outside of designated art projects. As well, the sharing of ideas creates collaborative energy in a space, and lends an opportunity for communication, shared vision and progress. A healthy community is one where individuals are connected, feel secure, and are free to express themselves.
