Antyx Community Arts, Youth Voices Team

Antyx Community Arts uses the arts as a tool to create opportunities for youth to become more engaged in their communities while experiencing increased connection and empowerment. Our strategy involves developing collaborative arts projects that transform youth, empowering them to share their voice and make a difference about issues they are passionate about. Projects are planned with various partners and full input and involvement from youth. Some of our groups, such as our Youth Voices, work on leadership projects they are passionate about, with Antyx as support. We aim to provide a safe, supportive place where marginalized youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. Past projects have included: murals, installations, social interventions, discussion forums, video, animation and music projects, place-making initiatives and more. One of the yearly programs Antyx runs is a weekly hip hop group where youth learn from other youth and study various styles/forms of urban dance. This group hosted a breaking intensive in the summer, are champions of Battle City as the North Beasts, and you will see many of their faces learning and competing at Culture Shock. Antyx Community Arts Mission: engaging, empowering, transforming.
