Together, community members and selected artist, work from a community centre to foster social connection, cultural participation, and learning opportunities. Collaborating on creative projects about things that matter to the neighbourhood, artists use different disciplines —visual art, film-making, dance, creative writing, fibre arts, and more—to build a physical or social legacy through artmaking.

Artist compensation: $18,000 artist fee and $2,500 art supplies

Apply by December 11th, 2026.
