Streaming on TELUS OPTIK TV Ch.#9
Narrated by award-winning artist, Andrew Phung, The Artist: A Creative Journey is a captivating documentary that explores the powerful impact of the creative arts on one's well-being and mental health. The documentary stars Juno-nominated singer / songwriter Tyler Shaw, muralist Alixandra Jade, folk singer / songwriter Martin Kerr, and dancer Paige Elson, as they share their personal stories of overcoming adversity, finding joy, and creating meaningful connections to the local community.
"The Artist: A Ceative Journey takes us into the minds of many creative individuals. We often think of a one dimensional definition for art, paintings but this movie explores much more. From the visual to musical to physical we are drawn into how art has not only shaped their lives but ours also. I am a gardener and I never thought of my hobby as a form of art but it us. My palette containers plants, my tools are shovels. I am internally inspired to create and share my garden art with any passerby. " - Maureen E.
