What is RE-create?

RE-create is an open arts studio in downtown Hamilton, Ontario where street-involved youth can begin to reconnect to themselves, others, and their community through the creative arts while gaining valuable life and work skills. From painting to poetry, performance art, photography and other multimedia projects, RE-create offers an opportunity for street-involved youth to try a variety of art forms under the guidance of local established artists and members of the wider arts community.

RE-create works in partnership with the community, government, local area churches, schools, local business and individuals to facilitate social change. RE-create is guided by a Steering Group of interested community members.

Currently RE-create uses studio space at Notre Dame House (Good Shepherd) 14 Cannon Street, Hamilton, ON.
