Flash Forward Incubator 2014
The Flash Forward Incubator Program proposes a new and exciting model for arts education, and funding that supports emerging artists within the high school setting.
Developed in collaboration with industry professionals and educators, and through the balance of independent and interactive instructional methods, students participating in the program are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and expand their creative process, and artistry. While creating their own work of art, students engage in discussion, inquiry, research, experimentation, reflection, feedback and critical analysis, all of which deepen and extend their understanding of their artistic practice, and how it relates to other contemporary artists; culturally, socially and historically. Upon completion of the program, students leave with a signature piece for their portfolio, a working artist statement, and a gallery show and publication to add to their résumé.
While presenting a new, and innovative model for arts funding in Canada, and as a true extension of high school arts programming, The Flash Forward Incubator program will prepare students for a successful transition from high school into post-secondary institutions, and the professional art world, for years to come.
The Magenta Foundation gratefully acknowledges the support of TD Bank Group for their ongoing commitment to Flash Forward and to emerging artists.
