The Dyment Recreation Hall has a new addition, following extensive repairs after a flood in 2022. The new addition and repairs were funded by the community and with support from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.

Our community arts initiatives are rooted in collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity. By fostering spaces for local engagement, we empower artists and audiences alike to connect, create, and celebrate together. Through workshops, performances, exhibitions, and hands-on projects, we bring art into the heart of the community—where it can inspire change, spark conversations, and build meaningful connections.

Background

From intimate jam sessions to vibrant public performances, our music programs bring together musicians and audiences of all ages and skill levels. We celebrate diversity in sound, offering opportunities for collaboration, learning, and showcasing talent while ensuring that the power of music resonates throughout our community.

Our digital arts and creative entrepreneurship initiatives empower local artists to showcase their unique perspectives through virtual exhibitions, workshops, and entrepreneurial programs. We foster connections between artists and the community, while providing essential skills for success in the arts, digital and cultural economies.

We host dynamic arts-focused events, from festivals to pop-ups, that bring our community together to celebrate creativity in all its forms. These gatherings act as vibrant cultural hubs, showcasing artistic talents, sparking new collaborations, and building shared experiences that leave lasting memories.

Craft is at the heart of our connection to tradition and innovation. From fiber arts to woodworking, pottery to jewelry-making, our collective celebrates the makers who transform raw materials into works of beauty and meaning. Hands-on workshops and maker markets allow the community to engage directly with craft, sharing skills and stories across generations.

Visionary Art & Collective Strategy

As an arts collective, we work together to shape a shared creative vision. From defining long-term goals to crafting strategies that amplify our voices, we ensure that every member’s ideas and contributions play a vital role in building our future.

Project Development & Support

Our collective thrives on collaboration. We support each other in developing and executing projects, exhibitions, performances, and initiatives that push creative boundaries and leave lasting impressions on our communities.

Innovative Creative Practices

We embrace experimentation and innovation. Through shared resources and collective energy, we explore new methods, challenge traditional forms, and create groundbreaking interdisciplinary works that inspire and provoke.

Community-Driven Arts Initiatives

Art is a bridge to our communities. Together, we design and lead programs that engage the public, foster cultural understanding, and address important social issues—all while celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of our local and regional identities.

Empowering Each Other

At the heart of our collective is the belief in shared growth. We support one another through mentorship, skill-sharing, and resources, ensuring that every member feels empowered to grow artistically and professionally—whether it’s in the heart of the inner city or our land-based living lab in the heart of the boreal forest. 

In bridging these two worlds, we draw strength and inspiration from both urban creativity and the wisdom of the land, fostering a unique environment for growth and connection.
