Abstract
SpART was a one-year part time artist residency whose goal was to engage members of a recreational community center in making artistic expressions of the sports they participated in Over 200 participants actively engaged and over a thousand members of the public saw and watched their art works. Overall, participation was enthusiastic. The project demonstrated how art could be introduced in daily operations of a sport-focused community center. A video of sporting memories highlighted the benefits of sport in building community, friendships and maintaining health. Space and time were limitations.
