Dreambuilding is an initiative by UrbanArts, community arts council. In our 3rd year, our goal is to help the community of Weston relize it's full potential through the arts. We have, and will continue to consult community members about what thier vision of Weston is, we then begin to help these dreams to be relized.
Hope you can all make it to the Weston Speakers Series on August 6th!

Clairandean Humphrey first got involved with UrbanArts through the Graffiti Transformation Project as the Assistant Co-ordinator in 2003. Last summer she put her video work into practice as the UrbanArts Videographer.
Clairandean is currently leading the painting of a mural on the side of a building at the corner of Eglinton and Weston Rd in Mount Dennis.
