Idea acf2697:

Expand the Flight

Posted October 30, 2009

• Posted by: Judith Snow
• Organization: Laser Eagles
• Location: 185 5th Street, Toronto, Ontario
• Category: Stimulate Culture
• Cost: Medium ($10,000 – $50,000)

Laser Eagles is a successful Art Guild located in South Etobicoke. Ten artist with physical limitations create art with the support of facilitators called trackers. These trackers hold the brush and paint while the artist tells them what the picture should look like. Since many of the artists cannot speak or use their hands, the relationship between artist and tracker is unique, empowering and transformative!

Our idea is to expand Laser Eagles and make it available to people everywhere in Toronto.

  Judith, this is AMAZING!!! My family has exposed me to every walk of life from an early age and I have seen so many miracles in my day. This is one of them. Bravo and Kudos. I was your number 2 vote and we started right where you are. I am supporting 9 ideas now, because there are so many. We are in your category as well Type2 - A Journey into a bipolar world. We are convicted of what we are doing and if you like what you see, we would love it if you let us know. I wish you much success with your idea and hope that it will come to be for the sake of all who could benefit from the magic that is art.

  Judith, Thank you for introducing me to Laser Eagles. Though I was only a tracker for a brief time it changed my life in so many ways and opened my eyes to the different difficulties and the ways of life for those who are disabled. It allowed me to combine my love for art with those who share my love and to help people create beautiful artwork. Best of luck!
