Presenter: Beth Terpstra and John Kirstein
An exploration of how church communities can engage neighbourhoods and create places of belonging through the arts.
During this session, we will hear from various representatives of Hamilton churches who are using the arts to build community in unique ways. They will share stories of how they are using the arts to engage their neighbourhoods, build a sense of unity in the midst of division and diversity, and bridge social and generational divides in churches and neighbourhoods.
There will be opportunity for conversation and discussion about how to continue using the arts in Hamilton for the good of the city. Bring ideas and stories of ways that you have been engaging the city or your church community through the arts.
