Meet Harbour Collective COASTLINE Lab 2022 Artists

Coastline Lab is designed to explore the unique opportunities within artificial intelligence and non-fungible tokens and working in Canada as Indigenous artists. Artists will explore a range of topics such as using artificial intelligence to create art derived from Indigenous data, creation of non-fungible tokens, addressing career sustainability and burnout, and articulating one’s own unique skill set as an artist. Participants will also hone their skills in budgeting, funding, and distribution and receive $2,000 to support their project. 

Coastline 2022 Lab will engage the expertise of industry leaders and successful artists to address the following aspects of research, data mining, and producing: funding and grant writing with budgets, and next step strategy. Industry advisors will lead workshops and small-group sessions and offer one-on-one mentoring to participants. 

Visit https://harbourcollective.ca/ to read the bios of 2022 artists and learn more about their projects. 

Harbour Collective would like to thank the Canada Council for the Arts, Creating, Knowing and Sharing.

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health – ASAP Mural Artist Volunteer 
Our team is planning to create a comfort room on an inpatient unit and we are hoping to get a simple scenic painting done on a wall of a small room, to promote a calm and peaceful place for individuals. We want to be able to offer a safe space for individuals who are in crisis or need of a place to cope with any distress or low moods they may have. The comfort room is our priority but if possible, we are also hoping to create a small “canteen convenience stand” for patients to practice employment/social skills and was hoping to get some small, floating food items painted on the wall to brighten up the space.
