Being invited to speak to 600 people under the big red letters, is a hefty weight. Of course I wanted to run, wished I had said no, and struggled as an artist to "write" a speech. In the end, I was able to see it as a chance to really try my best to help our city. I used that big dumb stage and all the minds (that could afford to attend) to dig into our city's disrespect for youth... indigenous youth in particular. I used my story of overlooking and ignoring my own seeds of discrimination to hopefully help people look into their own. But before all that, I told them how cool die active is and how one indigenous youth created Neechee studio from the framework of Die Active. love these powerful youngbloods.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">THUNDER BAY -- Lucille Atlookan's passion for art has opened up a world of opportunity for Aboriginal youth. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">New challenges arose when Atlookan moved to Thunder Bay leaving her feeling as though she didn't belong.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"I was going through a culture shock by the time I moved,” said Atlookan, an Anishnawbe artist from Eabametoong First Nation. “The transition from on-reserve (life) to the city really got to me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"I got into the Die Active Art Collective but it was only for the summer time. I couldn't find anything during the school year that was free. I was asocial, shy and I didn't know how to get around."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<img alt="" src="http://static.dougallmedia.com/tbnewswatch/articles/385594_86400802-s.jpg" style="border: 2px solid transparent; float: left; height: 200px; margin: 2px; max-width: 506px !important; width: 300px;" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Her passion for art awarded Atlookan the opportunity to be part of the team that created Neechee studio. The youth-driven program focuses on collectively confronting personal struggles faced by many Aboriginal youth through artwork as a practice of being restorative and skill building.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The idea originated a few years ago when Atlookan attended a meeting with her mentor, Moffat Makuto, executive director of Multicultural Association of Northwestern Ontario. Makuto along with other individuals were considering applying for a grant at the time and were discussing their options.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">When asked, Atlookan mentioned using the grant to create an art program.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"They liked the idea," Atlookan said. "I told them about what Lora does at DefSup with Die Active Art Collective. I asked my colleague and friend Matilda Suganqueb to join us and that summer we became a committee."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The Neechee studio lead outreach coordinator said she wanted a space that empowers youth through artistic expression.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"For me, art tells a story. When I'm doing my artwork I don't think about anything. It helps me escape," she said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Throughout a six month period Neechee studio produces seven art workshops led by local emerging and Aboriginal artists, covering a wide range of art including beadwork, quillwork, silk-screening, street art, sculpture, film and photography.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Based on the interests of the participants, culturally applicable art themes are created to teach youth about different art mediums.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Despite Neechee studio's learning atmosphere, the studio's main purpose is to exist as a safe space for Aboriginal youth to fit in.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"It's a community," she said. "It's a safe environment for youth to feel like they fit in.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"I feel as if I don't belong here in the city but when I go to the studio I feel like I belong."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">DefSup's youth outreach coordinator Lora Northway explained that Neechee studio is a fun, free, safe drop in art collective for Aboriginal youth ages 14 to 30 years-old to meet new people and learn different art skills.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"The youth that come to the studio are looking for a place to fit in and they get that there, they meet each other and they can access a variety of community opportunities," Northway said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"When I think about what it would be like to leave my home town at a young age and go to a high school in a new city all by myself how scary that could be. Just to imagine that sort of transition it was pretty obvious that a program like Neechee studio was needed.”</span></div>

It really was the perfect way to end off a successful year for Lora Northway. The community/youth outreach coordinator at <a href="http://www.definitelysuperior.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s;">Definitely Superior Art Gallery </a>was named one of the recipients of the Emerging Cultural Leaders Award by the Artist-Run Centres Collective & Collectives of Ontario (ARCCO). Known for acknowledging and awarding those with long-standing dedication to the artist-run culture, this year ARCCO introduced a new award category to recognize emerging talent who “demonstrates initiative, creativity, generosity, and excellence.” Northway, who received her award among her peers and colleagues at ARCCO’s national conference in Toronto, is appreciative of the honour, and shares that “It’s important to acknowledge all those working in the arts, not only those with long-standing histories, but also those with a growing passion for it.”</div>

Artist-run centres, such as Definitely Superior Art Gallery, are an integral part of the art culture in Canada. Northway explains that many artists find their starting point at artist-run centres, especially experimental artists. As an artist, educator, and outreach coordinator, Northway is not only part of the artistic landscape of our community and beyond, but she also plays a significant role in moulding it, most notably through the three youth programs she launched: Die Active Art Collective, Neechee Studio, and inVISIBLEink. These programs highlight the talents of young local artists. Specifically, Neechee Studio and inVISIBLEink focus on Indigenous youth and LGBTQQ2S youth, respectively. In her seven years at Definitely Superior, she has become a voice for emerging artists in the north, and in the last year has been invited to speak twice about the importance of art and culture in our communities. For her speaking engagement at the Dream Big conference in North Bay last summer, Northway brought along eight Die Active graffiti artists and they worked all week to create a 100 foot mural; the initiative sparked North Bay to establish a youth art collective.</div>

With award in hand, what’s next for Northway? Well, apparently there are two big things that have emerged as a result of the award. Unfortunately for us they are currently a secret, but Northway is an active blogger and all secrets will be revealed in due time, so stay tuned. In the meantime, good things are happening on the local arts and culture scene, and, according to Northway, “Thunder Bay’s presence in Canada is vibrating a bit louder.”</div>

Lora Northway shared her thoughts on the role the arts plays in the lives of youth, as well as successes and challenges as an artist on Ontario. “There’s something surreal about defending arts and culture, but we need to. Culture is life-enhancing, defines our personal and national identities, and is important to all of us.” Northway’s personal experience as an artist helped her to “find out who I was, and learn to love myself.” Die Active Art Collective, which mentors and supports emerging young artists with over 540 members ranging in age from 14 to 30, is important, explains Northway, “because it lets youth see ourselves in the city we live in… This structure of creating together, learning from each other, sharing it and watching it change us is powerful. Other generations can understand us, hear our voice, and better appreciate us.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Northway emphasized that youth should be given more opportunities to receive funding and resources. They need to be empowered and given the chance to access the tools necessary for success as artists. “Arts organizations need guaranteed core funding. Without a platform like DefSup, youth culture would be non-existent in this community”, as the artist-run gallery is the portal through which the youth programs are run. “Culture is shaped by its participants… We need to fund existing structures that work, and open new funding opportunities for youth-led initiatives. Structures around art and culture can sometimes be exclusionary and intimidating; we have to drop expectations and stereotypes, and respect youth by giving them authentic support, getting them involved in all parts of the process.”</div>

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”</h1>
