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”
