CREATIVE COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSOCIATION
Equipping Changemakers to Turn Creativity Into Social Impact Across Canada
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we put our crayons away and with them a part of our ability to imagine, create, and connect. At CCIA, we believe the arts are for everyone, not just children. We use creativity as a tool to strengthen communities, foster collaboration, and empower artists, educators, and mission-driven creatives to create lasting social change.
Our Approach
We believe creativity can connect people, broaden perspectives, and strengthen communities. We support changemakers through hands-on workshops, interactive forums, and community events that provide tools, knowledge, and networks for social impact.
By combining learning, collaboration, and shared creative experiences, we help artists, leaders, and organizations build skills, foster connections, and make meaningful change through the arts.
What We Do
Art has the power to connect, inspire, and strengthen communities. We help changemakers make it happen.
Creative Community Impact Association (CCIA) empowers artists, community leaders, and organizations to use creativity for social change.
Through arts-based education, collaborative programs, and practical resources, we help changemakers build skills and strengthen connections. Our work supports the creation of inclusive, resilient communities across Canada.
Our Community
We bring together artists, educators, and mission-driven creatives working at the intersection of art and social justice.
Our community includes people from diverse backgrounds and experiences, all united by a shared commitment to using creativity to make a positive impact.
Together, we exchange ideas, build connections, and support one another in creating meaningful change.
Art for Social Good
Creative expression can bring people together and tackle social challenges.
At CCIA, we foster collaboration and provide artists, educators, and organizations with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to use creativity as a tool for meaningful and lasting change.
