CultureBrew.Art is a great way that we in our local community connect with artists from a variety of communities. It's been such a pleasure for us to work with CultureBrew.Art and I encourage all of our colleagues to do the same. Look into it – you won't be disappointed.
– James MacDonald, Artistic Director, Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops, BC
CultureBrew.Art (CBA) welcomes everyone from all sectors of society seeking Indigenous and racialized artists working in the literary, media, performing, and visual arts.
We invite schools and post-secondary institutions, community and social service agencies, media outlets, arts councils, funders, government agencies, as well as arts, heritage, and cultural organizations to discover the wealth and diversity of BIPOC talent from across Canada.
Please note that for enhanced privacy and security, CBA features 2-factor authentication to access accounts. If your organization would like more than one person to have access to the BIPOC artist database, we recommend setting up multiple accounts that fit within your budgetary parameters.* Examples:
- Your annual, project, or departmental budget is between $50,000 - $99,999, and you would like two people in your organization to have access. You could elect to purchase two accounts at $6/month instead of one account at $12/month.
- Your budget exceeds $500,000, and you need four people to have access. You could elect to purchase three accounts at $120/year instead of one account at $350/year, and add a fourth account at the lowest rate for $60/year.
We encourage all potential subscribers to keep in mind that CultureBrew.Art relies on the generosity and support of the wider arts and culture community to keep CBA a self-sustaining initiative. If you would like multiple accounts, but are not sure how best to set these up for your organization, our Community Builder would be happy to assist!
