Creating the York Woods Arts Hub
In 2007, ideas starting buzzing in the Jane-Finch community on what was needed to better support local artists and resident groups. Energy was created, and networking began to talk about the neighbourhoods creative needs. Since then, artists and organizations catering to various interests, age groups, and art forms have unified in collaboration with the City of Toronto, and the Toronto Public Library. On June 29th, the result of these efforts will come together at the grand opening of the York Woods Arts Hub. This week, I had the opportunity to listen in on a planning meeting and sit down with Laura Metcalfe (City of Toronto), Sun a.k.a The Real Sun (No Mans Land, Lost Lyrics), and Sabrina Gopaul (Black Creek Community Health Centre, The Life Movement, Jane-Finch.com), to discuss what has gone into making The York Woods Arts Hub a reality.
