A local youth community art event!

Need a break from exams or simply just need an excuse to socialise more than you already do?

Victoria Park Centre for the Arts is hosting a “Learning to Love You More” inspired youth storytelling event. Showcase your artistic abilities/inabilities or come along as emotional support for your friend(s), and have fun with other young people from ages 12-25. Our purpose is to promote more youth engagement by engaging local high school and University students in a community event made for youth by youth, with various activities inspired by the 2002 “Learning to Love You More” project and website. Hosted by our interns; Jocelyn Dean and Ahlia Vuletich.

We hope to accommodate you at the Victoria Park Centre for the Arts and ensure you feel comfortable and help you to connect with like-minded individuals your age.

About the original Learning to Love You More project

Heavily influenced by the feminist punk movement in the early 1990’s ‘Riot Grrrl’, Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher co-created the project Learning to Love You More. What once was an active community participatory event for 8 years closed its doors in 2009; Miranda and Harrell themselves mentioned how their goal was to create these assignments as intervention projects to force individuals to do things they normally wouldn’t do.

We are reviving and reimagining a handful of assignments from this project, to allow the youth of the 21st century to participate in a local social and community art event.
