About this listen
Creativity doesn't just shape culture — it builds connection.
In this special collaboration between RATT.fm and the Town of Collingwood, Ontario (@experiencecollingwood), we explore how creativity builds connection — turning heritage into inspiration and local artists into community catalysts.
Featuring three of Collingwood's creative voices —
Rick & Anke Lex (@tremontstudios) - the husband-and-wife team behind Collingwood's Tremont Studios. Rick led the restoration of the historic Tremont building, saving it from demolition, while Anke, an accomplished multidisciplinary artist, transformed it into a thriving home for artists.
Leah den Bok (@humanizing_the_homeless) - photographer whose portraits of people experiencing homelessness reveal the humanity behind every face.
Gracie Jet (@graciejet) - singer-songwriter whose cinematic folk-pop sound captures the town's pulse and creative energy.
Together, their stories reveal how art restores, connects, and inspires — proving that when a community makes room for creativity, it makes room for connection.
