Calming the City
The Calming the City Poster Project is a community art project that includes 18 original art pieces created by youth artists. These artists were participants in Make It, a therapeutic art-based employment and support program, offered by Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House. Each artistic work was made following the prompt of creating a calming space in the city to ease anxiety, with each individual expressing what that looked like to them personally. This exploration of the meaning of calm and creating a calming space resulted in works ranging from digitally created art to multi-medium works on canvas. These original art pieces were digitized and made into posters which were placed in the City of Vancouver and now, at REACH.
