The First Generation Program at OCAD University delivers programs designed to enrich the academic experience for students whose parents have not attended university or college, and for the entire OCAD U student population.
Through this publication, First Generation Art and Design students were invited to produce works within the theme of ‘SWAP’, considering any exchange of giving and getting and the act of reciprocity. This theme could have been interpreted anyway the participants wished, and be expressed in any medium, resulting in a vibrantly diverse range of reflections.
The publication is printed as a limited-edition risograph bookwork, to be launched at this event. The night will also feature a PechaKucha where interested publication participants will have the opportunity to speak about their work, their inspiration and anything else they choose! PechaKucha is a fast paced and fun presentation style in which each participant talks about 20 slides, which are each shown for only 20 seconds - six minutes and 40 seconds in total.

Neighborhood Spaces, Socially-Engaged Artist in Residence Program - Windsor, ON
Arts Council Windsor & Region (ACWR), Broken City Lab (BCL) and The City of Windsor are pleased to announce the launch of Neighbourhood Spaces: Windsor & Region Artist in Residence Program, a new initiative that will locate ten chosen artists in community sites throughout Windsor and Essex County in Ontario, for 4-6 week artist residences. Supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, this new program will allow artists to
pursue research and/or create work(s) that engage, explore and connect with local communities. The program is inviting applications from Canadian artists of all disciplines including visual, performing, literary, music, interdisciplinary and media arts.
Neighbourhood Spaces will embed artists in community sites such as parks, nature reserves, libraries, health or community centres. These sites will provide a “home base” for each artist to work during their residency, while also allowing the artist to take on diverse roles, engaging with community members in various ways to animate, explore and inspire the specific stories, curiosities, challenges and triumphs of the local community.
Curated by Broken City Lab, residencies will begin in summer 2013 and be staggered throughout the year, concluding in August 2014. There is no application or residency fee. Each artist will receive $4750, which includes an artist fee and funding to assist in covering travel, housing (for the duration of the residency), material and per diem expenses. While housing is not provided, Neighbourhood Spaces is available to assist
artists in finding accommodations. A final exhibition and symposium will be held in the fall of 2014 and an online publication will be created documenting the program.
