Project Name: In Bloom – A Celebration of Teen Spirit and the Arts
Type: Art
Synopsis/Overview: The In Bloom project celebrates the life of Kurt Cobain, 20 years after his tragic death. It is an art project that will give Toronto youth an opportunity to reflect on mental and emotional well-being. Using “identities” as the theme, artists will be asked to create art work that captures the meaning of “coming of age” in the 21st century, hoping to shine a light on whatever anyone has to deal with that affects them emotionally. The project hopes to become a hub for creativity, bringing the community together, and sparking curiosity and understanding about the subject matter.
All proceeds from the project go to helping Delisle Youth Services.
