Arts Assembly is a not for profit, community-centric arts organization that emphasizes artistic collaboration. Arts Assembly is committed to working with social practice and research-based interdisciplinary artists, who are similarly working to expand the notion of what art can be and do. We are committed to working within an anti-oppression framework and have mandated that no less than 50% of our Board of Directors are BIPOC, and we echo this mandate with our employees. All organizations we partner with must be clear on their commitments to anti-oppression.
Through programming and organizational staff and structure, we work to honour and contribute to leadership in the creative community of women, trans, 2spirit and non-binary folk. We pay CARFAC fees.
