We Live Up Here

We Live Up Here is an urban arts organization in Sudbury, Ontario, formed around the idea that art can inspire, transform and help build a better community. Evolved from a grassroots “DIY Tourism Campaign for Sudbury” into a world-class urban art and music promoter, We Live Up Here annually presents Up Here, an independent urban art and emerging music festival in wonderful, weird Sudbury, Ontario. Every summer, Up Here brings together dozens of muralists, musicians and installation artists to transform downtown Sudbury into an urban art gallery. With over fifty concerts by emerging Canadian artists, Up Here is an intimate multi-venue experience with pop-up concerts in surprising locations. We Live Up Here has created and curated over sixty pieces of public art in Sudbury since 2013.
