Creative Collaborations
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do.
We partner with community organizations, cultural spaces, public partners, and research institutions across Canada to deliver arts-based programs that are accessible, inclusive, and rooted in local community connection.
Our collaborations are designed to be flexible and responsive, helping us understand local needs, reduce barriers to participation, and strengthen inclusive practice in the arts. These partnerships support the ongoing development of our programs, foster meaningful community engagement, and advance research-informed approaches to accessibility and inclusion across the arts sector.
Halifax Public Libraries
We were selected to be part of the Halifax Public Libraries community programming. Following our successful facilitation of an arts-based workshop, we look forward to a continued relationship with the library system to provide accessible creative opportunities for a diverse city-wide audience.
