Red tree collective

Red Tree is a multi-disciplinary artists' collective founded in Toronto in 1989. Founding Members: Amanda K. Hale (theatre), Lynn Hutchinson (visual art) and Georgia Watterson (literature).

Collective Creation and Community Art Practice: Red Tree works in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration with artists and/or community members. Cultural workers, activists and community workers are co-authors in creation and presentation of artistic production. Community art collaborations are driven by specific cultural practices or community issues and are guided by principles of participatory research. Red Tree positions inclusive and collective process against disciplinary canons. Red Tree Homepage ^[1]

Red Tree has received peer-reviewed grants from Canada Council, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, as well as support from foundations and governments. In 2015, the City of Hamilton supported the production and installation of a series of art banners connecting arts audiences and soccer fans in conjunction with the PanAm soccer games. Participating artists June Pak, Sadko Hadzihasanovic, Shelley Niro, Fiona Kinsella, Amelia Jiménez and Klyde Broox were part of a larger program in collaboration with Centre3 for Print and Media Arts ^[2]
