Serving Arts to the Underserved
Join us in serving rural, at-risk, and/or struggling communities
Our Vision & Mission Statement
To provide accessible live art experiences to individuals and communities facing barriers to inclusion, including persons with disabilities, seniors, isolated individuals, and those with limited access to cultural programming.
How we Support our Vision
We support our vision through the use of programs and performances aimed at individuals with limited access to arts and culture, raising awareness through the use of vlogs, blogs, and podcasts. We ensure that those underserved communities feel included and belonged in arts and culture through our organization.
Where do we Serve?
Inhabitants of Rural Alberta have less exposure & services. This sad reality encouraged us to focus on communities outside the large urban centers in Calgary & Edmonton. So, we want to start serving the underserved in the following communities: Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Canmore, Banff, Sundre, Olds
How do we Serve?
Our gift of art has many faces. We believe each artist has the gift to give to those who can’t access & enjoy it. But the utilization of the positive giving spirit is encouraged in many forms, for example:
- Drum Circle for Shelters
- Paint Nights for Treatment Centers
- Clay art for Residential School Survivors
- Jazz performances to Palliative Care Wards
- Country & Old Tyme performances to Senior Homes
- Grunge/Rock performances to Juvenile Detention Facilities

Land Acknowledgement
We would like to honor and acknowledge the traditional lands of Treaty 7 upon which Canmore is located. With this land acknowledgement comes recognition of the collective responsibility to understand our history, and the Spirit and Intent of Treaty 7 so that we can honor the past, be aware of the present, and build a future on peace, friendship, and understanding. We would like to give thanks to these sacred grounds that are the traditional territories and home of the Iyahrhe Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki & Goodstoney Nations), Blackfoot (Kainai, Piikani & Siksika Nations), the Tsuut’ina Nation, and Rockyview Metis District 4 peoples. We are grateful for the opportunity to live and work in these territories and commit to the work of reconciliation. We are all treaty people.
