Please join us in the shop between 2-5pm this Saturday for the public launch of THIS IS NOT ART THERAPY, THIS IS GROUP WORK, an 80-page full colour artist bookwork featuring work by Balca Arda, Peter Hobbs, Tobaron Waxman, and Andrew Zealley.
This Is Not Art Therapy is a studio residency program template designed to actively—and re/productively—situate artists in community-based AIDS service organizations (CBAO). This goal of re/productivity explores the healing possibilities in making and responding to art, and also seeks to address the increasingly pressured issue of available workspace for artists in inner city environments. This Is Not Art Therapy tests this design at the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation (PWA), one of Canada’s oldest and largest direct service organizations for people living with HIV/AIDS.
THIS IS NOT ART THERAPY is funded by the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN).
