A youth-led organization is hopingto motivate young locals to creative-ly express themselves through art.

The work of visual artists, writ-ers and photographers will be fea-tured in “Hamilton Youth Antholo-gy,” a book produced by a non-prof-it group called Ink Movement.

“It’s an exciting time for arts inHamilton,” said Maxwell Tran, 19,the founder and executive directorof Ink Movement, which highlightsthe work of young artists. “There’san emerging art scene in the city,and a lot of organizations are doinggreat work.”

Tran hopes to achieve Ink Move-ment’s mission through initiativessuch as book publishing, work-shops and conferences.

Tran predicts the anthology willbe published by mid-April. A totalof 142 works were submitted andInk Movement’s editorial board hasbeen reviewing them. They are

aiming for 64 pages and 30 features.Tran said he looked to the Hamil-

ton Arts Council for helping con-necting with local artists. Councilexecutive director Stephanie Veghsaid part of the group’s mandate isto help young artists, and she wasimpressed with Tran’s track record.

“More than ever we’re seeingyoung artists taking responsibility,not only by making art, but withhow it’s distributed in the commu-nity,” said Vegh. “ It’s the kind of en-ergy any community needs.”

Ink Movement also partneredwith other local organizations. TheHamilton-Wentworth DistrictSchool Board and the HamiltonPublic library are helping spreadthe word about the anthology. Theliterary press Wolsak and Wynnwill publish it, and the Social Inno-vation Lab at McMaster Universityhas provided meeting space.

“When I was in high school I wasan avid writer,” said Tran, a second-year health sciences student at Mc-

Master University. “I lookedaround and I saw business studentshad DECA (a youth business orga-nization) and science students hadfairs, but for students interested inart, there weren’t many avenues topursue their passion. Ink Move-ment was born because of the need Ithought was there.”

Tran’s also been growing his vi-sion. He started Ink Movement inMississauga in May 2012 and creat-ed divisions in Hamilton and Mon-treal in August 2014. He plans tobranch out to Saskatoon this sum-mer and Vancouver next year.

Tran believes art is a tool for so-cial change, so the non-profit willpartner with several local charitiesduring the Mississauga Art andSoul initiative in May. Tran hopes todo the same in Hamilton in 2016.

Although the event is only for oneday, Tran hopes the youth teamswill have a lasting relationship withtheir charity after the event.
