The Creativity and Parkinson's Project explores, supports, and encourages the therapeutic value of creativity for those living with Parkinson's disease. It hosts an online gallery of over 300 artworks created by people with Parkinson's and shares their inspirational stories. The project publishes an annual calendar featuring artwork from 13 artists and creates awareness materials using art from the gallery.

The Art of Listening : Creating Authentic Stories in SoundSofie Andersen
This talk-show style panel will show how audio is having a new lease of life in the mix of in-gallery media, websites, apps and other mobile tech in museums. Audio is more than a tired old ‘interpretation’ friend and can be used in innovative ways to communicate and learn. As a medium, it offers a singularly direct connection with the listener, creating a sense of presence and intimacy that can be hard to achieve in a museum environment or with screens alone. Yet audio storytelling in a museum context often struggles to go beyond ‘talking catalogues’, with it’s didactic messaging. This panel will offer worked examples of how audio can be a more effective tool when authentically expressed, and as an extension of the drive towards authentic communication, emotional engagement (E. Munro, 2014) and visitor participation in museums, breaking down barriers between institutions and audiences. Just as social media and our online lives have pushed the boundaries in museums beyond formal interactions with the public (MW2015,Provocations in art: engendering art debate on social media), so too can audio help museums to connect with visitors.
Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is pleased to announce that its November 2014 art exhibition is now posted on their website and is ready to be viewed online. The “Nature” theme was considered to be any art with the subjects of natural objects, wildlife, geographical, and natural environments for this art competition. The gallery accepted art on this subject that was either representational or abstract.
Indigenous History Month Art Activity
In June 2022, we got together virtually to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Month by working our way through a month-long art project. Each person was to think of an Indigenous artist they admire, research the artist and their work, and create a piece of art for themselves influenced by the artist they had chosen. Throughout the month we presented on these artists and why we connect to their art and discussed important topics like appropriation vs. appreciation. We learned a lot about Indigenous artists in Canada and about each other and ourselves. The art project allowed people to connect with their heritage as well as Indigenous peoples; it was as much a research and art project as it was a team-building and self-reflection activity.
Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is pleased to announce that its July 2014 juried art exhibition is now posted, online and ready to view on their website. The theme for this art exhibition is “Botanicals” and artists were asked for their interpretation of this theme by submitting their best botanicals and floral art for possible inclusion into this exhibition.
The gallery encouraged and accepted entries from all artists regardless of their experience and there were no geographic restrictions. The gallery received and judged 697 entries from 20 different countries and from 34 different states. The gallery also selected artists for Special Merit and Special Recognition awards as well. Congratulations to the following artists who have been designated as this month’s overall winning artists of the 4th Annual Botanicals Art Exhibition.
