As a contemporary textile artist, she has always straddled the line between art and craft. Alisa’s sustainable creative practice involves making her own tools and textiles through scavenging and recycling as a way to connect her current work to the past. Alisa maintains her art practice in Guelph where she is a mentor, teacher and facilitator. She has exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally and has been featured in the publications, curatorial lists and shops of institutions like the Ontario Craft Council and the Textile Museum of Canada.-﻿This program is a part of the <a href="https://onculturedays.ca/2023-creatives-in-residence/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Creatives In Residence</a> series by <a href="https://onculturedays.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Culture Days</a>.These programs would not be possible without the support of the <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Government of Canada</a>, the <a href="https://canadacouncil.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Canada Council for the Arts</a>, the <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Province of Ontario</a>, the <a href="https://www.arts.on.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Arts Council</a>, the <a href="https://www.ocaf.on.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund </a>and the <a href="https://torontoartscouncil.org/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Toronto Arts Council</a>.The Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund is a program of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, administered by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund Corporation.
