It’s time for the 7th annual July Project! Have a project that’s been been on your mind? The beginning of a piece that’s so fresh you can’t even name it yet? Or a work you started a year ago that stares you down from the corner of the room? Then bring your self, your project, and maybe some snacks to July Project 2021.

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.

For 2021 July Project is slated to happen at Pandora Park, near What Lab, on Wednesday evenings. We will all break out into smaller groups that can socially, distantly, share.

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, radio shows, tattoos, 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.
