Emiliya Volchenko is an OCAD University student, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Photography. Having recently completed a program at the New York Academy of Art which emphasized classical teachings, her practice encompasses a broad exploration of diverse mediums, including drawing, painting, and photography. As a means of storytelling and emotional expression, Emiliya’s work is guided by an exploratory approach, engaging at the intersection of digital design and traditional mediums.
VIBE Arts operates at the intersection of arts and belonging. We know that not everyone has access to the arts; this is felt especially by people who live outside of the urban core. Members of equity-seeking groups including newcomer Canadians, racialized young people, Indigenous youth, the LGBTQ+ community and individuals living in poverty face complex barriers. VIBE works directly within these communities to involve thousands of people each year in free arts experiences. We bring young people together to collaborate in safe and accessible spaces and tap into the creative potential that lies in every corner of our province. VIBE programs develop life-long skills, nurture community connections and spark creativity. Together, we work to realize a future where every young person is equipped to contribute creatively to society.
