ARTISTIC EXPRESSION IN ABUNDANCE THIS SPRING: NEW EXTREME YOUTH GROUPS

By April Caverhill, New Extreme Mentorship Program Coordinator

Artistic expression was in abundance this spring as our New Extreme youth groups and artist mentors collaborated on their projects. This year’s students were from SJ Burnside Alternative Education, and Central Middle School. Having been witness to much of the art making I can speak to how meaningful this program has been for everyone involved! I’ve learned so much from this year’s artists and students, and I am already looking forward to next year’s partnerships.

“Being an interdisciplinary artist is what made my way of working as a curator in this programming series interdisciplinary in nature. In the real world we experience things in immersive multisensory ways. So, I crave that kind of experience when I’m going to galleries, and I wanted to share that kind of experience with others through this program,” says Kemi Craig – guest curator for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s Blueprints for the Afrofuture programming series – on a brand new episode of the AGGV’s #WIP Podcast!
