artsparks at the library programs
At the heart of artsparks, accessible arts programming for everyone project, was a commitment to building a community that celebrates the strengths and achievements of all people. In the past few years of artsparks programming at the library and at the museum in Red Deer we have seen the participants of artsparks 'sparked' with the power of artistic creation and expression, becoming happier and more confident in their lives and more active members of the community.
Unfortunately, in 2010 artsparks project in Red Deer cannot continue offering the full range of programs due to the funding cuts from the PDD Central Board. We would like to thank the PDD Central Board for their past support and their vision in starting the program back in 2005.
As a result of the funding cuts artsparks community stepped up to the challenge and accessible arts programming will still be there for artsparks participants in Red Deer, 2011 but in a different format.
artsparks at the museum is now called MAGsparks. Fall & Winter 2010-11 program will be running Septmeber to April in the Stewart Discovery Studio. Members participate in our Open Studio format, working on projects of their choice. One or two special activities will be available per month to provide extra instruction and excitement! These sessions run MWF afternoons (1 - 3 pm). Find more at MAGsparks webpage.
artsparks at the library is pleased to offer Adult Storytime program which is a monthly program at the library that is open for everyone. All library programs are accessible, fun and free for all Red Deer residents and visitors. Any questions related to the library programming for PDD community should be addressed to Tatiana Poliakevitch, Community Development Librarian at 403- 318-9312.
