Book a Creative Service.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you are looking to develop a mural, garden or public art installation with your community group. Or potentially you want your group to be able to share their voices through a video, podcast, event, site activation or placemaking project. Maybe you are just looking for an arts facilitator to activate your class with a day of creative activities. Perhaps you are a commercial business needing a mural for your wall or creative design services. Maybe you have a great idea you want to teach but need help designing your curriculum and facilitation support.

Below are some standard rates, but connect with me about your special project and I can develop a package for your needs. I will lead your group through a customized set of activities to unlock their creative potential and make something they are proud of.

Who Am I?

I have been working with community groups doing creative facilitation and advocacy projects since 1998. I am able to empower a diverse group to be able to dive deeper into the issues that are important to them and share their voices in creative ways. I have spend the majority of my career working in the non-profit field with immigrant, women, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC and youth serving agencies. I have a deep knowledge of Social Emotional Learning, creating brave spaces, and how to empower folks of diverse backgrounds to advocate on issues they are passionate about and make change in their communities.

I have done over 25 murals in the community, multiple huge events, many public art, video, podcasts, and performance projects. I have even redesigned and built a public park in Calgary! I have trained hundreds of folks to facilitate workshops in an engaging and creative manner. I have made slick design assets for programs, curriculums, events and more. I have worked with community members to build community projects they are proud of and share their voice through creative means.

I can help you make your creative project a success if you give me the opportunity!

    Community Project- I will lead your class or community members in some initial activities to break down topics, have deep conversations and brainstorm some plans/next steps.

    Community Project- I will lead your class or community members in some initial activities to break down topics, have deep conversations and brainstorm some plans/next steps.

We could have some solid engagement discussions, really create some strong plans and thoughtful conversations. This would be a full placemaking day with deep analysis of the site/presentation space/medium, site/project triangulations, how to analyze resident interaction with the site/project and make plans based on that. Depending on the type of project, we at be able to begin something, or at least set the “base” for you to continue the project with your group. Supplies are extra and dependant on project type.

Longer Project-

  • Community Project- I will lead your class or community members in some activities to break down topics, have deep conversations and dive deep into some planning and full placemaking activities with the group.

Her facilitation practices create an environment that makes it safe for people to try their hand at artistic endeavours, and as they do, they are guided through the kind of social emotional learning that is at the root of all effective social change movements. Stephanie has both a wide array of technical skills and personality trait that make her an excellent guide for youth and adults both”

  • “I have known Stephanie for the past 7+ years. We have partnered in projects pertaining to youth. I met Stephanie when she was working at CIWA in Calgary, and we connected right away as we had the same passion for working with the youth. We have been involved in projects like anti-bullying and have always been a success with the youth. I found Stephanie’s passion for working with the youth quite exceptional. She is always thinking about what the youth will take out of the sessions that she coordinates. At Antyx Community Arts she used art as a way of encouraging and motivating the youth to give their best. Her energy in working with the youth is at a very high level. The youth were very blessed to have Stephanie working with them as she brings all her passion and skills to guide them through art and help them make great choices in life. When I was working at Father Lacombe High School, she would be there during lunchtime to motivate the youth and help see art as a vehicle to positive choices.”
