Expansive, playful and low-barrier art-making in community – from wherever you can join us!

For the second year, Kickstart is thrilled to present, Murals Without Walls! This unique program involves 3 FREE digital low-barrier process-based creative art making workshops which prioritize prioritize Mad, D/deaf, and Disabled participants who are artists – whether you are a professional artist or are just starting to dabble in art making!

Three guided workshops, facilitated by Kay Slater, are designed to explore The Self, encouraging artists to expand their unique creative process, supported by demonstrations, conversation and community.

Registration includes a kit of supplies for Vancouver Area registrants (maximum 30 kits available); participants are also encouraged to incorporate materials readily available at home.

Please Note: due to funding & logistics of program, individuals must reside in Vancouver or Area to be eligible to receive a supply kit. However, the kit is not necessary to participation & you may use your own supplies*

Registrants will receive a link to join the workshops hosted on Curiko, and how-to videos and transcripts of workshop content for 24/7 access, on your own schedule.

Following the studio workshops, Vancouver Area registrants will be invited to apply to a professional jury for the opportunity to create a portable mural featured in this year’s Vancouver Mural Festival in August. Not interested in the second phase of the project? That’s OK! You are welcome to attend the workshops regardless!

Details about this stage of MWW will be available during the studio workshops, and details will be made public at that time.

Workshops will run Wednesday May 25, Thursday May 26 and Friday May 27 with the choice of time:

  Session One : 5:00PM – 630PM   Session Two : 7:00PM- 830PM

In addition, if you cannot join an evening session, registrants will have access to recorded workshops in spoken English with auto-generated captions. Please note: participants will not be required to have their cameras on for personal privacy and comfort.

If you participated in the workshops last year, you are welcome to register again this year, and also apply for the mural creation opportunity. Registrants who participated in 2021 and received an art supply kit are not eligible to receive a kit again, but are welcome to participate!

Registration Open UNTIL Friday, May 13, 2022
