Mirage Map - Creative Exploration & Interactive Map Making Workshop

What would you add to CityPlace to energize the community? The Mirage Map invites residents to imagine CityPlace as an oasis in the city with places to meet, people-watch, and play. Share your vision in a walkabout workshop and interactive map presented by Blue Rock Collective as part of The Bentway’s Community Incubation Program.

Join us in October for a socially distant walk to photograph and enhance locations in CityPlace by printing and drawing on your image. No experience necessary! Your vision of possibility will be added to the Mirage Map online and onsite at The Bentway’s Canoe Landing Studio. Through photography, creativity and mapping we will create a collaborative Mirage Map of the community’s potential. Dream your own mirage and connect with your community. Bring a mobile device and your imagination.

Physical distancing and masks required. Ages 12 and up. Limited capacity: 15-25 participants per workshop. Pre-register on Eventbrite. Track the growth of the Mirage Map at https://bluerockcollective.com/190-2/
