Dear Art Citizens, Due to the high number of Covid cases throughout our beloved City of Winnipeg, we are suspending in-person programming for two weeks, starting today, November 2. We plan to re-open on Monday, November 16 if things improve. Stay tuned for updates and more as we get through this time together (but physically apart)...

Each October, Art City produces a Halloween event that brings crowds of community members together. In recent years, this event has outgrown the largest local indoor spaces, pushing us outside to transform the entire West Broadway neighbourhood into a jump scare and candy filled "haunted house" experience. In 2020, such an event can't exist. Instead, we've come up with a responsible way to make Halloween mayhem and send it out into the world, creating layers of green screen v...ideo and editing in TikTok. Through the month of October, Art City participants worked at our Sherbrook Flats program site creating mini movie sets and stop motion animations. Guest improv artists Andrea del Campo and RobYn Slade coached participants as they interacted with these video layers in front of a green screen. Finally, participants edited their videos, added extra effects, stickers and soundtracks in TikTok. This Halloween, we know it's best if we all stay at home, eat candy and watch movies and videos. Hence the title of this project, the Art City Halloween Home Theatre. Art City thanks our participants, volunteers, staff and guests Andrea and RobYn for working together to make all of this happen while maintaining distance and wearing masks. Thanks to William F. White International for use of their green screen, lights and equipment! Also, thanks to the great Canadian TV program The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, which served as an inspirational starting point when designing this project. Enjoy and stay tuned for more, Art Citizens! https://vimeo.com/473913157

A sample video from this month’s ongoing project: Spooky Movie Shoot! We made mini sets, recorded videos of special effects, then recorded participants interacting with the videos and edited them A full selection will be posted on our Tik Tok account @artcityinc ... Drop in programming offered at 267 Sherbrook St, Monday to Friday 4:00pm-7:30pm following all public health safety regulations, please stay hole if you are feeling sick See more

This week at #ArtCityOutreach we had a BLAST doing spooky photo shoots at the Spence Neighbourhood Association. We played with kaleidoscopes, black lights and creepy lighting and then printed our favourites using a portable photo printer.

This summer, Art City participants created puppets with guest artist Curtis Wiebe (curtislwiebe.com) at our Art City Outside program. University of Winnipeg Human Rights practicum student Sidney Phommarath (Instagram: @sidneyli_) created this video document of the interactions and interviews between participants, their puppets, and Curtis Wiebe's character, Gorge. Thank you Sidney, Curtis, and Gorge!... https://vimeo.com/468981253 See more
