We will be able to cover artist fees, travel expenses, equipment costs and eventual exhibition costs, among other things.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Herongate has extreme levels of racialized poverty – it has Ottawa’s highest percentage of visible minorities at 70% and is the 2nd poorest neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is currently facing unprecedented levels of destruction of family homes and displacement by one landlord, with nowhere for families to go. It is presumed many will fall into homelessness and end up in the shelter system. In addition, the cultural fabric of the neighbourhood will be forever transformed and its character will be lost.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please contact Heatherington Land Trust if you are an artist interested in this project at <a href="mailto:info@heatheringtonlandtrust.ca" class="">info@heatheringtonlandtrust.ca</a> or the facilitator Josh Hawley by phone at 514-377-8616.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sincerely,</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
