COMMUNITY ART LAB
Mission
The Community Art Lab positions itself on the cutting edge
between art, education, and community development with the goal
of exploring how these worlds collide and interact with one
another.
Activities
The Community Art Laboratory explores from a creative point of
view the pressing social issues of our day and how these affect
our direct community. It gathers individuals from the
community - whether students, artists, researchers and members
of the general population - and
via
public events, works towards stimulating an increased understanding of the visual and media
arts in the City of Sherbrooke. The satellite activities are
centered around questions raised by the current exhibitions at
the Foreman Art Gallery and take the form of discussion groups
(broadcast through podcasting) around an artwork or a film
related to the artwork, through workshops (tailor-made for
different audiences), events (performances, film screenings).
Bishop’s University students will greatly contribute to the
activities’ content through their participations and
discussions. Through its interventions the Laboratory stimulates
exchanges and discussions in order to disrupt the
hierarchy of knowledge and to enrich community life.
Espaces
Located beneath the Foreman Art Gallery, the Community Art
Laboratory’s space can accommodate groups of 20 people. Besides
this space, the Laboratory appropriates community spaces (coffee
shops, art centres, theatres, community centres, schools,
churches) that bring to the Laboratory their own realities and
functions.
