Upcoming this summer! To The Table
STREET HEALTH Artwork unveiled!
It was a bit chilly outside, but the mood was warm as we unveiled this new ceramic, glass, and stone mosaic on the gate at Street Health yesterday afternoon – created with Street Health clients, staff, and community members, and led by Red Dress Productions artists Anna Camilleri, Tristan R Whiston, and Katie Yealland.
This project was so much fun, and the fun is going to continue with 8 more weeks of art-making at Street Health starting in May!
Thanks to the Government of Ontario,
Attention Women Firefighters – Tell your story!
The Women Firefighter Narrative Visibility Project (WFNVP) knows that women firefighters are making a difference in our communities every day.
This is your chance to share your experience – standout or workaday events or moments from the field, the community, or the fire hall. Together we’ll shape the stories that you want to tell into short narrative written or recorded art pieces — audio, visual, written or digital.
You don’t have to have any artistic experience. You will be led through the whole process by the professional artists from Red Dress Productions.
To The Table
We are excited to announce a new and upcoming project! During summer 2018, Red Dress Productions will be immersed in “To The Table” — a multi-discipline artistic residency in Fred Johnson Park, in the heart of Scarborough Village. Through interactive workshops with community members, we’ll create a modular sculpture, and ephemera including small hand printed and stitched works, mosaics, and audio pieces. The shared experience we seek is take a common object – the kitchen table – and use it as a medium to explore inclusion,

Milestone – building the mosaic!
We finished 5 community consultations where we discussed and made art around “what is means to live in Canada, on this part of Turtle Island, as an Indigenous person, a settler or a newcomer. Now, we are starting to build the mosaic in Winchester Park. We are building the mosaic upside-down, putting pebbles in sand inside a pre-built frame.
