Throughout the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021 we were running our first session of SMMART! It was such an amazing process and we feel so lucky to have met so many amazing artists. The talent that we have in this province is unreal! These are just... a few of the skilled artists that were a part of the program. ⁠#happy10CCC ⁠⁠

Appreciation post for the Creative City Centre! #happy10ccc This venue, and the wonderful people involved, have had an immeasurable effect on me as an artist and member of the arts community in Regina. I’ve built relationships, honed skills, and ...just had a lot of artsy fartsy fun in this building over the last ten years since they opened. This was the first place I ever played my own songs on an acoustic guitar, and it’s where I developed a love for performance poetry. This podcast is done in partnership with the CCC and I’m so thankful to have something to pour some creative energy into during this weird time. I thank you every podcast, but thanks to everyone involved with the CCC. Happy tenth anniversary creativecityctr and thanks for everything! Thanks mariansaskatchewan eemanew roxielenton shaynanigansssss catabenstein 📸 officedadd _funbar_ and probably some others that I missed 😬

We are continuing our #happy10CCC celebration because why not!! ⁠⁠
Here are some photos from @lilylangen 's Two Floors Up Comedy Show! ⁠It was so great to have all of these hilarious Regina comics on our stage 💛⁠⁠

10 years ago, these wonderful humans and myself started articulateinker (a badass printmaking collective). We were lucky enough to be offered space at the creativecityctr by mariansaskatchewan (another wonderful human). It’s been a wild ride. ...Here’s to 10 more years. #happy10ccc

A Decade Printmaking…​​

In some ways, it seems like the last ten years that we’ve spent building and shaping Articulate Ink has flown by and in some ways, it seems like it has been ten years of hard work and determination that has kept us going and building this organization.

It is beyond a doubt that without the support of the Creative City Centre (CCC) since the inception of our organization in 2011, we would not be where we are today or perhaps not even exist at all. The Creative City Centre has provided us with the most supportive, affordable studio space, and this has allowed us to exist as long as we have, and we are forever grateful for that.

As we reflect on ten years of the CCC and also ten years of Articulate Ink, it is so nostalgic to recall some of the memories we’ve made, projects we’ve taken on and friendships we’ve built through the years.

As we wrote this post, we took a look back through our entire Instagram feed, which serves as a bit of a time capsule, and we are so proud of the things we’ve been able to accomplish together.

Articulate Ink has always been funded by commercial screen printing - A.K.A. printing t-shirts. We have very gratefully been the recipients of operational funding from SK Arts for many years, but most of our revenue has been self-generated through printing, primarily t-shirts. There are SO MANY folks in Regina, and beyond that, we’ve been lucky to work with to produce apparel over the years. We can’t even begin to name them for fear of leaving someone out. The support that we have received from the non-profit, artistic sector and small businesses has allowed us to survive financially, and we are so very grateful for that.

The month of May is the 10th anniversary of creativecityctr, and I miss the events of this space. I’m so grateful for the arts community I’ve connected with, the people I’ve met & the skills that I’ve honed on the CCC stage, where my ...performance poems could take hold and grow. Here are several photos of different artists, musicians & performers on the stage in the golden house lights, and a workshop with people discussing subjects around a table. #Happy10CCC

TONIGHT! The final DDI of the season and a birthday celebration for the Creative City Centre!! #happy10CCC⁠

That stage...

Truly (to my ears), creativecityctr is the BEST sounding room/small stage since my days at theleaf.abilenetx (original 202 Cypress location 1998-2010) in Abilene, Texas. Wish I could just hang out during the day and ...rehearse/jam...

Happy TEN YEAR anniversary CCC! You are truly an artist-friendly venue. Thanks for your hospitality and promotion of the arts. Hope you have many more years in you...

The creativecityctr stage (before the speakers were attached to the ceiling). I’m not even sure exactly when this photo is from, but I’m posting it today because when I look at that stage I feel a sense of comfort and joy. The CCC has been like... a home away from home for me in a lot of ways. It’s where I discovered the incredible world of spoken word reginawordup . It’s where I played my first professional show. It’s where I fell in love with the community so much that I volunteered at shows and then in 2015 started working for the CCC and felt such a sense of purpose in doing so. The CCC helps artists of all kinds and creates a welcoming community for everyone. Even though I’ve been there to witness the time passing, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for others during the past decade. #happy10ccc #yqr #yqrart #community #grateful #singersongwriter
