Sitelines
Tax deductible
Sitelines has provided adults with lived experience of mental health and addiction free access to art-based learning opportunities and compelling artistic cultural experiences through instruction and open studios.
Since 2016, Centre[3] and the Mental Health Rights Coalition have partnered to present Sitelines, an ongoing project that offers access to the arts for adults with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction by providing free art-based workshops, courses, and open studios.
The ongoing project aims to have a lasting impact for participants via artistic and cultural enrichment.
Over three years, Sitelines has been able to provide free art programming for over 300 people to engage in the community, find their voice, and share stories.
"Sitelines was deeply concerned with my autonomy, with making work that I wanted to do, and to help me realize concepts and ideas that were not just about my depression, autism, or anxiety.... It felt like a space where risk was rewarded, and that people were allowed to be who they were. I never felt unsafe in the basement print studio, and I feel unsafe most places. They [Sitelines facilitators] were encouraging, curious, and committed to having the best work come out of that space." - Steacey Easton, Sitelines participant.
Sitelines is reaching out to our community to help continue this program. With your support, we will continue to offer:
- weekly open studio
- a variety of courses and workshops including painting en plein air, photography, songwriting, drumming, DJing, poetry, sculpture, screen printing, documentary making, and so much more, taught by a variety of artists in the Hamilton community who specialize in these mediums.
