Art on my Mind 2023
Music workshops throughout July 2023
Showcase: Saturday, July 22, 2023

The Art Gallery of York University brought back Art on my Mind, our songwriting, vocal, and performance workshop series. Having taken place throughout the month of July, this performing arts program was geared towards children and youth in the Jane Finch community and was organized in partnership with the Black Creek Community Farm. Facilitated by acclaimed R&B singer Kibra and the brilliant Hip Hop/Soul artist Dynesti, the program equipped aspiring artists of all disciplines to gain valuable musical skills, ultimately preparing them to shine on stage. Art on my Mind offered emerging songwriters, singers, and performers a unique opportunity to learn from and be mentored by two artists making names for themselves in Toronto’s thriving music scene.

Through our outreach efforts, we engaged children and youth from Jane Finch grassroots community organizations, including Success Beyond Limits, Generation Chosen, Firgrove Learning and Innovation Centre, and Flaunt It Movement. All workshops were free and took place at the Black Creek Community Farm. In conjunction with the workshops, AGYU also presented the Art on my Mind 2023 showcase, a live performance event that took place July 22. 

Bus tickets and snacks were provided to all workshop participants.

The Art Gallery of York University thanks the Toronto Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Foundation, the Black Creek Community Farm, and Flaunt it Movement for generously supporting this program.
