In the first post-Olympic version of Sound Therapy Radio - ‘Art of the Mind’, we explored two unique community based art projects.

1) Kickstart: Arts, Culture and Disability

Geoffrey McMurchy, the Artistic Director of Kickstart joined us for a discussion about the organization and its projects.

Kickstart’s mission is to produce and present works by artists with disabilities and to promote artistic excellence among artists with disabilities working in a variety of disciplines.

Co-Curator Bernadine Fox and Artist Afuwa Granger talk about their upcoming show HEROES

Check out some of the programs during the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games at http://www.kickstart-arts.ca/

2): Riley Park Stories

Lisa G and Lisa W told about a new project in Vancouver’s Riley Park. With the theme ‘history of place’ the artists work with the community collecting personal stories. These stories will be shared here in the form of text, photographs and videos.
