Youth
arts
project
launched

A NORTH Shore art project for
youth, including an artist-run
gallery, arts education classes and
workshops, will help fill the void
in arts programs and services cur-
tently available to youth, says the
project's creator, Irwin Oostindie.

Called Youth Art Works!, the
Project includes a facility where
youth, aged 15 to 24 can discuss,
learn and work on art projects in a
comfortable peer environment.

Oostindie, from North Van-
couver, said depending on provin-
cial and municipal funding, the
centre could open as carly as May.

“By the beginning of March we
should know for sure,*’ he said,
adding that he is confident the
Project vil receive enough funds
as it qualifies as a community pro-
ject.

Thousands of young people liv-
ing on the North Shore miss out on
the chance to develop their artistic
potential, said Oostindic, because
local arts groups are swamped with
existing activities,

“There aren't enough programs
for young people to learn about
the arts,"' he said, ‘tall there is
right now is Presentation House
and the Community Arts Coun-
cil,"* explaining that Youth Art
Works will give them the chance to
work together to develop their
ideas.

Workshops will explore various
subjects such as introductory
painting, poetry readings, arts in
the community, photography, cre-
ative layout, fashion illustration,
experimental video and film
works,

The gallery allows young people
to hang their works in a public
forum, and young artists will also
have access to frames loaned by
the Youth Art Works Society.

Local artists will conduct the
workshops and lectures, and Emily
Carr, Capilano College, and
Simon Fraser University fine art
students will offer basic
workshops, said Oostindic.

After a minimal membership
fee, all workshops and basic mate-
rials will be free. For more infor-
mation contact Irwin Oostindie at
1509 Merlynn Cres., North Van-
couver, V7J 2X9. Youth Art
Works is also seeking input from
local groups and individuals. A
meeting is scheduled for March 7
at 7:30 p.m at the North Van-
couver Chamber of Commerce,
131 E. 2nd. Phone 987-6879 or
255-2798 for details.
