An upcoming event aims to help women in Vancouver embrace a "every body is a good body" attitude using creativity. A Body of Art takes place on April 14 at SFU Harbour Centre, and will bring together a number of local artists and body image activists.
The event day will be packed with workshop programming from writing to movement and sketching with a goal to facilitate radical self-acceptance for women and femme-identifying individuals.

The event's message is simple: "All bodies are good bodies - beauty comes in all shapes and forms and it's time our culture and media embrace that."
A Body of Art will be hosted by author Cynara Geissler of Arsenal Pulp Press, and includes the participation of a number of community organizers, singers, writers, artists, activists, and more.
Additionally, A Body of Art's fees for the day are on a unique sliding range of $40/$60/$80, allowing those with financial needs (parenting, medical, elderly, in debt, etc) the option of paying less.
