Community Voices
Eight four-week off-site workshops are happening between November 2018 and March 2019 as a part of Community Voices.
Community Voices is a creative partnership program administered by the Textile Museum of Canada and delivered in collaboration with social agencies in Toronto. Encouraging creative expression and skill-building for individuals from at-risk and underserved communities, Community Voices engages participants in immersive weekly four-week workshops led by local emerging and professional textile artists who design unique skills-based curriculum.
