Black Artists' Networks in Dialogue (BAND)

BAND is dedicated to supporting, documenting and showcasing the artistic and cultural contributions of Black artists and cultural workers in Canada and internationally. BAND Gallery and Cultural Centre is dedicated to developing emerging artists, curators and administrators by providing an accessible venue to showcase their work to the general public. Our core programming includes; Emerging Artist Exhibitions, for early career artists to show a body of work with the assistance of the Gallery, grow their understanding of the exhibition process, and build connections in the art world. Live Arts Presentation, which provides opportunities for artists to showcase their work in an intimate, unconventional performance space and experiment with arts presentation ideas. In Dialogue at BAND, this encompasses workshops, presentations, and speaking events at BAND intended to encourage skill sharing and dialogue among artists, cultural workers and the larger community.
