As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at ArtBridges.

Alliedoscope Collective’s vision is to “create accessible and inclusive presentations showcasing the stories of underrepresented communities.

Their mission is:

• To create community surrounding stories of hope and resilience, and to give a platform to those who have felt unheard or excluded
• To offer a space that encourages engagement through inclusive interpretation and interactive pieces for mixed abilities
• To showcase and promote the works of mixed abilities artists from varied experience and backgrounds “
