What is PK?
Project Knomad is -
Youth engaged in a multi-faceted experience of the arts
             
Youth engaged in culturally relevant community endeavors and projects
             
Teaching relevant skills to youth that enhance and support future vocational goals
             
Engaging connection between all ages within the community
             
Project Knomad is an inter-generational, dynamic, creative learning experience.
Project Knomad expresses Ian Sharp’s mission of meditation in action.
    It is about learning, sharing and building community


What are we up to?
Scroll through our blog posts to see what we have been doing! PK will be hosting an art fundraiser at mid-winter. Our dream is to create an arts makerspace in our village - a place where our community can get creative together. To see what a makerspace could be check out the links at the end of this posting.

Who are 'we'?
PK-ers are people from the Warwick community inspired by Ian Sharp's legacy of meditation in action - working with our youth and community through art, music, love of skateboarding and fun! We are friends and family of Ian Sharp who have come together to keep his vision alive! It is our intention to create a space of creativity, self-expression, skill-sharing and fun, where all ages can come together and have a good time.

Who was Ian Sharp? 
Ian was an artist, musician and avid skateboarder loved and missed by many since his passing on March 25th, 2012. His art was edgy, inspired and his joy was to share his art and creativity with others, particularly kids. Check out his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ian.sharp.733?fref=ts and his Art of IS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Is/148857431802211?fref=ts
