Collaborate with Other Community-Engaged
Arts Initiatives

Why collaborate with other community-engaged arts initiatives in Canada? You will

  • Help build a Canada-wide community of arts for social change enthusiasts
  • Be inspired by others in different cities, provinces or territories
  • Discover new ideas, lessons learned, reasons for success, how others overcame challenges, and promising practices
  • Share resources, such as studio space, policies, forms, procedures, toolkits, etc.
  • Pool strengths and talents and come up with stronger, more cost-efficient creative projects
  • Connect with established initiatives to learn from their experiences and successful practices
  • Learn new approaches and trends in community-engaged arts practices
  • Capitalize on the belief that there is “strength in numbers” and “two heads are better than one”
