Future Arts Network is seeking participants from across Canada to take part in our upcoming Community Networking Project – a new initiative that will connect artists, individuals, collectives, and informal + formal groups dedicated to supporting racialized women in the arts.
About the Project
The project will establish a national network that strengthens collaboration and collective impact in the arts and culture sector. Through a series of virtual meetings and online surveys, participants will engage in discussions that share challenges, successes, and best practices in advancing equity and representation for racialized women artists and arts leaders. Together, we aim to connect with individuals, collectives, networks and organizations across Canada through the national network.

- Arts workers, cultural organizers, and community leaders passionate about equity and inclusion / intersectional feminism

Honorarium:
