We facilitate
– an interactive space where arts organizations artists and attendees share
– dedicated to advancing, visual arts and performing arts , while advocating for pluralism in the arts
– dialogue on common interests, experienced and strategies towards a better more equitable and inclusive arts sector.

We believe
Systemic change is more effectively achieved through collective, creative action, and seeks to:
– create, support and learn through open-source resources and toolkits
– advance strategies to understand how we are influenced by issues of equity and digital technology in and out of
– amplify the artistic practices and administration of IBPOC individuals

We aspire?
We hope that everyone arrives at a better understanding of the many ways in which we support, create from and within the Arts sector as indigenous / ethno-racially identified artists with a pluralist lens.
