In the Making: A Community Archive Project

December 6, 2024 - January 24, 2025

In honor of our 10th anniversary, the BJC is launching a special project focused on archiving. From December 6 until January 24, we are inviting our community to display artwork or personal artifacts (sketches, notes, samples) they have created, as part of a participatory installation in our gallery. This exhibition also engages in collective storytelling and record-keeping, inviting community members to share the impact the BJC has had on their creative practice.

Over the course of the project, the gallery walls will gradually fill with contributions submitted by our community near and far. The resulting collection will be a visual celebration of community, learning, and making, which is at the heart of everything we do.
