Red Tree Collective

Red Tree is a multi-disciplinary artists' collective founded in Toronto in 1989. Founding Members: Amanda K. Hale (theatre), Lynn Hutchinson (visual art) and Georgia Watterson (literature).

Collective Creation and Community Art Practice: Red Tree works in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration with artists and/or community members. Cultural workers, activists and community workers are co-authors in creation and presentation of artistic production. Community art collaborations are driven by specific cultural practices or community issues and are guided by principles of participatory research. Red Tree positions inclusive and collective process against disciplinary canons. Red Tree Homepage
