Our Hearts are with the Heart of the City Festival

 

The 13th Annual Heart of the City Festival wrapped on November 6. The Thursdays Writing Collective was proud to be a part of this vital festival, and we will keep its creative inspiration alive until next year.

Here are some quotes we wrote about the Festival:

“This festival not only happens in the heart of Vancouver but it activates the city’s heart.”

“The Heart of the City connects us with artists who are flourishing and provides joyful access for those of us who are seeking connection through creativity. the organizers are extremely inclusive, forward-thinking and respectful. its one of the highlights of my year.”

“art is the oxygen of the downtown eastside
carried in the blood of its artists
it slows down at the capillaries
art galleries, music venues
carnegie theatre, thursday’s collective etcetera
where it feeds minds and souls of artists
then gets pumped on and
is renewed every time we meet and share

and see one another’s thoughts and words”
