July Project 2019
Wednesdays
July 10–Aug 7, 2019
By donation
It’s time for the fifth annual July Project, a month long artistic intensive designed for people who don’t think they’re ready for an artistic intensive. Have some project that’s been on the back burner for ages? Something you’re too busy/unsure of/scared to start? Then bring your self, your project, and maybe some snacks to July Pro 2019.
The workshop begins with individuals setting projects and weekly goals. Then each week the group meets to share in their progress while looking to others for help, accountability, and encouragement. At the end we celebrate our creations with a public showcase art party extravaganza.
Whoever wants to join, can. You only have to do two things:
- Create something! This can really be anything: past years we’ve had sound art, photography, sculpture, dance, zines, woodworking, fabric arts, comics, operatic singing, poetry, bread baking, quilt and rug making, and so much more.
- Show up to the weekly meetings ready to share your work, your skills, your insights, and your support.
What Lab endeavours to make July Project a safe place for all to share. We love trying new things and working outside of comfort zones. We celebrate failure. We encourage those of you who are intimidated (but interested) and discourage those of you who can’t be open to trusted listening and responding with your fellow makers.

Accessibility Info
What Lab is located at 1814 Pandora Street. There is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The venue is located on the second floor up one flight of stairs, but there is a ground level accessible entrance through the back of the building. Seating is typically informal, and will include some combination of chairs, floor seating, couches, and cushions. There is one single-occupancy, gender-inclusive washroom. The washroom is not big enough for larger style wheelchairs to completely turn around in while the door is open. We are a trans-inclusive space.
