Andrea Raymond interview - Project Random
Launched in 2007, Project Random was a two-year community arts initiative and a partnership between Toronto Community Housing (TCHC), West Hill Community Services and City of Toronto Cultural Services. The multidisciplinary arts project brought together local youth from the Kingston-Galloway/Orton Park (KGO) neighbourhood and professional artists in an exciting art-making and mentorship process. Local youth took part in skill-building activities covering a variety of artistic disciplines including: face painting, mask making, stilt dancing, mosaic, mural painting, photography, drumming and spoken word. Project Random was about building skills, apprenticeships and arts engagement.
On February 3rd, I spoke with Andrea Raymond, Cultural Outreach Officer, from Arts Services based at Cedar Ridge Creative Centre about the project.
