SUMMARY:Learning to Love You More: A Youth Community Art Event
DESCRIPTION:Need a break from exams or simply just need an excuse to socialise more than you already do?\n\nVictoria 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.\n\nOur 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.\n\nWe 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.\n\nFree to attend\, please RSVP by registering on this page: https://events.humanitix.com/learning-to-love-you-more\n\n—\n\nAbout the original Learning to Love You More project:\n\nHeavily 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.\n\nWe 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.\nIf you would like to learn more about “Learning to Love You More” check out the website: http://learningtoloveyoumore.com/\nWe look forward to hopefully seeing you soon!

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: ‘Idyllic | Industrial’ Kym McDowell
DESCRIPTION:Opening event (Green Gallery): Sunday 15 November\, 10am-12pmExhibition runs: 11 November – 29 November 2026Weekend gallery hours: Sundays 10am–2pm Meet the Artist\n\n‘Idyllic | Industrial’ explores the Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power station in the UK and its place in the landscape in the process of decommissioning and dismantling.\n\nWith its position alongside the intersection of the River Soar and the River Trent\, the power station is both contrasted and complemented by historic canals\, recoursed waterways\, bridges and locks. Once essential for transport at the height of the Industrial Revolution\, these objects are now seen as beautiful remnants of a romanticised past.\n\nThis juxtaposition raises questions about how time transforms our perception of these structures. Could the cooling towers\, too\, eventually become romantic relics of a bygone era also worthy of preservation?\n\nPresented as part of the Head On Photo Festival.\n\n(Pictured: Idyllic Industrial 7\, Kym McDowell)
