The Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity brings people together to share ideas, tell stories and explore the possibilities of rural life. Through community projects and conversations, we make space for creativity and connection.
The Grand River Quilt is a collaborative textile artwork created by people who live, work, and gather along the length of the Grand River, from Dundalk to Dunnville, including Six Nations of the Grand River. The quilt grew out of The Grand River Community Play: The Voice of a River (2022), emerging from a series of community conversations and hands-on workshops that invited participants to reflect on their personal relationship to the river.
