Creating Dialogue with Youth about Violence 
A very exciting component will be unveiled in the late Spring when we debut our first ever youth playback company that will then listen to and playback other youth's stories from our community!
In June 2005 imaginit music presented YOUTH EXPRESS! a benefit concert at Hugh's Room in Toronto where Sketch's youth also displayed their original artwork and made it available for purchase.
imaginit music recorded & produced a 6 song CD of original songs by Riverdale youth, which was sold at the event and continues to be available for purchase.
