There are pockets of land and buildings in and around downtown Guelph that could be used differently to enhance the city. A display of 15 photographs of Guelph locations was available during the 2011 Guelph Jazz Festival's Nuit Blanche at both Whitestone Gallery and 10 Carden Street. This project was inspired by the I Wish This Was sticker project by Candy Chang. Visit her website to read more about her interesting ideas.

A lovely message from Candy Chang
I sent this blog to Candy Chang to show how her idea had been tried here, and she wrote back!
Hi Rebecca,
Thanks so much for sharing - this is wonderful! I really love your remix with specific buildings highlighted, and the responses are so revealing and thoughtful. We will add this to the site soon. Thanks again!

Whitestone Gallery used post it wishes!
I was at the gallery at 9:30 p.m. during nuit blanche to get ready for a painting project and enjoyed watching people read the notes in the alcove and add some ideas of their own. Here are a few photographs from that installation. If you click on the photograph it will enlarge. I will add higher resolution photo's once the project wraps up. Thanks for reading!

Lots of ideas at 10 Carden St. during Nuit Blanche!
When I stopped by 10 Carden this morning to pick up the project, the staff asked if it could stay up longer to see if more people wanted to add their ideas. We moved it from the back room onto the wall above the coffee maker in the main room. I left post-it notes and a marker and will return next week to see what is new.
Here are some of the really wonderful, funny, creative, and respectful ideas that you shared at 10 Carden during nuit blanche. Thanks!
