Colors of Resilience: An Exhibit Showcasing Artwork by Those Experiencing Homelessness


  • Artspeak Gallery 1942 Wyandotte Street East Windsor, ON, N8Y 1E4 Canada (map)

A curated collection of works done by people who are without homes. “Creativity is a macro-asset of the homeless community in Windsor” - local social service worker. Hyper-surrealist artist, Ann Reno, was discovered among the lineup, and served as the inspiration for this project. Reno’s work made me think that if she was exposed to the same opportunities I was exposed to, maybe she’d have different life circumstances. That spread to other members of this community, as well, and thus was born the idea of the Exhibit.

Project made possible through City of Windsor’s Arts, Cultural, Heritage Fund Grant, first round of funding, 2023

budget: $1012.18
