This five-day arts intensive at the Tett Centre is an opportunity for racialized and newcomer teenagers to share an inclusive, unique art making experience. Each student works with a piece of volcanic rock from Zimbabwe and with the guidance of local artist Chaka Chikodzi, will create a small to medium size sculpture. The day also includes a rotation of arts workshops, including Zimbabwean dance, marimba, printmaking and collage. Funded by the City of Kingston Arts Fund and the Limestone District School Board, this opportunity is fully funded with transportation and lunch included!
