Art project celebrates Cambridge with postcards
People are invited to draw, sketch, write or doodle their vision of the community
A Night of Postcards is a new art project that asks people to celebrate Cambridge - with a drawing.
Piper Bernbaum, the project coordinator, says about 1,500 postcards will be distributed through the community through November for people to draw on, and then collected for an exhibition.
Bernbaum is part of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture' Bridge program, which encourages the school and community to make connections through architecture and promotes design.
"What we felt though, being in Cambridge, we all live here for so many years and we wanted to create kind of a collective identity of what it is," she said.
Bernbaum said the group picked postcards because they're accessible, small and easy to carry.
"We wanted people to draw, sketch, or write or doodle, or kind of anything with the postcards in order to represent what their vision, thought or memory of Cambridge is," she said.
Postcards can be submitted at:
- Monogram Coffee Roasters
- Grand Cafe Coffee and Treats
- University of Waterloo School of Architecture main office
- Idea Exchange libraries
- University of Waterloo School of Architecture Library
- Cambridge Centre for the Arts
- Phidon pen store
The postcards will be put into an exhibition held at the beginning of December in downtown Galt, and then reprinted into a book.
