Sherbourne Health Centre Community Mosaic Project
Welcome to our gallery of images from the Sherbourne Health Centre Mosaic Project.
Over the past two months, we've met with more than one hundred clients and program participants of the Sherbourne Health Centre. Together, we've brainstormed, told stories, and made art with a range of materials including oil pastel, mixed media, and foam plate printing on fabric and vellum. As you scroll down the page, you'll find a series of images produced by project participants.
This arts-based participatory research is what leads us to identifying themes and visual motif, and ultimately, the mosaic design. The draft design will be revealed on Monday March 14 at 7pm. All are welcome to offer feedback. We'll begin building the mosaic in April -- hours soon to be posted here! Everyone is welcome. Sherbourne Health Centre is a fully accessible building located just south of Carlton, at 333 Sherbourne Street .
Red Dress Productions artistic leadership team includes lead artists Anna Camilleri and Tristan R. Whiston, and apprentices Heidi Cho, Rafaela Vidinha Dominici, Daniel Jelani Ellis, and Jay Stewart.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Sherbourne Health Centre, the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, and the Neighbourhood Arts Network.

Jumblies Theatre: Arts for All Essentials
Just spent six days working with Ruth Howard and associate artists at the Jumblies Theatre's Arts For All Essentials intensive. It was a rich experience with plenty of opportunities to reflect, experiment, and learn about many aspects of community engaged artistic practices including arts-based research, ethics and aesthetics, facilitation, and evaluation. I strongly recommend it to artists, cultural producers, and organizations who are working in/with communities. --Anna Camilleri

519 Church Street Community Centre Public Artwork
Flux
June 2010
27’ long x 5’ high
Flux is a community-engaged public artwork, a project of the 519 Church Street Community Centrer, located in the heart of downtown Toronto. More than 300 community members participated in the vision, design, and build. At eleven community consultations, we brainstormed ideas. Seventy-five sketches and some common themes emerged: a desire to firmly anchor the work in diversity and inclusion, LGBTTQ2S activism and resistance, honouring of community members who have passed, and looking ahead to the future. After a final design was produced by Anna Camilleri and approved by community members, the mosaic studio was opened. We built the mosaic together, piece by piece. Over 2000 volunteer hours were invested in this artwork.
Flux was led by lead-artist Anna Camilleri and co-lead artist Tristan R. Whiston of Red Dress Productions, with community art apprentices Heidi Cho, Rafaela Dominici Vidinha, Tamara Perez Mucino, and placement student Ingrid Vellekoop.
The 519 Community-Engaged Mosaic has been made possible thanks to the Province of Ontario via the Ontario Arts Foundation; the Community One Foundation; and generous donations from Tile City Ltd., Stone Tile International Inc., and community members. Special thanks to Robin Elliot, Tim Leeder, Lisa Reichardt, Lee Delaino, Jo Petite, Skye Louis, Neighbourhood Arts Network, [murmur], the George Brown College Redirection Through Education Program, and the board of directors and staff of the 519 Community Centre.
The 519 is a meeting place and focal point for its diverse downtown communities. Within a supportive environment, it responds to the needs of the local neighbourhood and the broader Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTTQ) communities by supplying resources and opportunities to foster self-determination, civic engagement and community participation. www.the519.org
