holding space for the mess of creativity
We are a charitable community-engaged arts organization. For almost 20 years we’ve been committed to a dynamic creative practice that reconnects us to the land, ourselves, and each other.
The Art Farm is based out of five acres of land on the unceded traditional territories of the Sḵwx̱wú?mesh nation and we are grateful to carry out our practice on these and the neighbouring lands and waters of the shíshálh people.
The Art Farm produces events, workshops, curriculum, and collaborative creative projects with educational institutions, community groups, and other organizations.
The Art Farm along with local youth have been operating a drop-in textile art studio at our local mall. This space provides a safe place for young people to spend their time learning and crafting during after school hours and provides opportunities to youth to show-case their work.
“Who Cares?” is a 3 year research, design, and arts-based collaboration with Emily Carr Health Design Lab and Douglas College, aimed at creating, developing and evaluating an emergent model of elder care on the Sunshine Coast.
