George Brown College, Regent Park Focus, UforChange and  local community youth converged on Regent Park on February 17. Over 150 participants toured the neighbourhood, capturing their interpretation of I HEART Regent Park via camera. The resulting work will form the basis of a digital exhibitation at the Regent Park Arts & Cultural Centre later in the year. 

Here is a snapshot of the day as seen by Seema, Managing Director of Regent Park Arts & Cultural Centre and Elle, program intern.

Located on Dundas Street East between Sumach and Sackville Streets, this 60,000 square foot, multi-tenant facility is slated to open in 2012. Its three floors will include a large performance venue, space for arts organizations, youth-oriented arts programs and the Centre for Social Innovation. Artscape is partnering with Toronto Community Housing, The Daniels Corporation and a locally based Steering Committee to develop the facility. Read more here>
