“The Art City bike does not coast. It’s always pedaling
forward at top speed, and by 2011, our participants were doing most of the
steering (look out!).”-Eddie Ayoub, Artistic Director
“Here’s to more community art in 2012!”-Josh Ruth, Managing
Director
“In a war against boredom and its by-products, Art City is
like a rainbow coloured airplane-helicopter tank strafing love across the
landscape, with friendly people of all ages hanging off the sides lobbing
positivity.”-Eddie Ayoub
“It has been ten years since I came to Art City as a volunteer.
During that time, literally thousands of people have become Art Citizens. Participants
of all ages, from many neighbourhoods, each with their own story.”-Josh Ruth
“Flipping through a year’s worth of Art City calendars, my
jaw dropped at least 52 times-one highlight on the heels of another, and it did
not stop.”-Eddie Ayoub
“Whatever the motivation, one thing seems constantly true:
once you have been to Art City, you are never the same.”-Josh Ruth
“The words ‘I’m bored’ are seldom uttered within Art City’s
walls. When they are, they are immediately followed by stunned silence and
wide-eyed stares.”-Eddie Ayoub
“If you enable people to tell their own stories, the way
they want to tell them, they will never stop gardening their own
imaginations.”-Josh Ruth
