RRaCe Queer Youth Art Exhibition Opening
Date: Thursday, June 3
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
Price: Free

Rainbow Resource Centre and aceartinc. have teamed up with a group of queer youth from Winnipeg to engage in an artistic and creative exploration of culture, society and self. The RRaCe participants have worked closely with each exhibiting artist at aceartinc. since August 2009 and will be exhibiting their thought-provoking work  on June 3rd as part of Winnipeg Pride. Join us for light refreshments, good beats by DJ Fleur and an opportunity to engage with the young artists themselves.

aceartinc. has been looking to raise its profile with Winnipeg queer youth in order to invest in future audiences and artists and continue to be relevant to the queer community. Working with the 2009/2010 programmed exhibitions will provide a variety of contexts in which queer youth can work with professional artists to place your identities in different cultural, social and political contexts and explore their creativity in an experimental and safe atmosphere. We want to skill them up to create their own culture and to think critically about the culture we are surrounded by.
