The Ark Bench

The Ark Bench The ArkBench is a source of inspiration, a platform for expression, and hub of intersections and connections undercover as a big burly bench.

This may look like nothing more than a big burly bench but at heart it is also a creative pit-stop; it can be a a place for contemplation, a source of inspiration, a platform for expression, and hub of intersections and connections. With a container on either arm this bench invites you to take a seat and some inspiration. You can use your own supplies or find some in the bench and leave a piece of

art or take a piece of art. Then we share as much as we can over social media! So whether you need to unload your deep dark confessions or doodle out some silly ideas you’ve collected, whether you are coming or going, big or small, into economics or quilting or oceans or aardvarks, the Ark can be a hub for free expression. Expression can be the thread that connects and enhances our community. And like Noah we are driven to uphold and celebrate all parts of life: every idea, every person that makes up a community. So whatever way your voice finds expression it has a place here. Doodles, illustrations, comics, poems, stories, wishes, love letters, or however it comes out, we want it to come out!

A good reminder from our Lake Country Community. Thank you teacher Aimee and New Beginnings Early Learning Center for sending some photos, they are a real breath of fresh air in these times. More to follow!

I share these back to you from the UK in lockdown and send lots of love back home. I am so grateful to see and share the snippets coming from Jack Seaton Park and the bench! Thank you, keeping sharing your thoughts and images.

Let’s keep being grateful for what we’ve got, Life is good.

Our Story

This may look like just a big burly bench but at heart it is also a creative pit-stop; it can be a place for contemplation, a source of inspiration, a platform for expression, and a hub of intersections and connections. With a container on either arm this bench invites you to take a seat and create or explore. Open up the doors. You can use your own supplies or find some in the bench and leave a piece of art or take a piece of art. Then we share and publish what we find at random, to widen the conversation. So, whether you need to unearth your deep dark confessions or doodle out some silly ideas you’ve collected, whether you are coming or going, old or young, into economics or quilting or oceans or aardvarks, the Ark can be a hub for your expression. Doodles, illustrations, comics, poems, stories, wishes, love letters, or however it comes out, we want it to come out!

Expression can be the thread that connects and enhances our community. And like Noah, we are driven to uphold and celebrate all parts of life: every idea, every person that makes up a community. Whatever way your voice finds expression it has a place here, and we want to hear what you have to say!
