"PCA&D acknowledges that York has a thriving creative community with several organizations that offer meaningful support. One thing that is often lacking, even in well-supported arts communities, is spaces that allow creatives to experiment or workshop ideas that are not always revenue-generating. This has led us to rethink the use of the PCA&D York space and present it as a creative pop-up program called the PCA&D Work/Space, where artists and creatives can submit an application/proposal to use the space for an experimental action, event, or creative idea in two-week increments for a small fee.
The PCA&D Work/Space program will be creatively flexible, and we anticipate possible uses being group readings or writing sessions, studio space for testing out larger works, a space to view an evolving body of work at one time, or for temporary installations, etc. Our goal is to promote curiosity, prototyping, and exploration of new concepts within the York community."
