ARE YOU AN INDIGENOUS OR RACIALIZED ARTIST?
CultureBrew.Art (CBA) is a Canada-wide digital platform that features a searchable database of BIPOC artists (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour), who work in the literary, performing, media, and visual arts: creators, writers, performers, directors, filmmakers, composers, choreographers, designers, producers, visual artists, and other cultural workers.
Join now to set up your artist profile, which can include all of your artistic disciplines, marketable skills, portfolio items (audio, video, and images), bio, and other info that will attract arts organizations and freelance producers (Engagers) in their search for BIPOC artists for projects, gigs, and other work. Membership is only $25 for a lifetime membership, with bursaries available upon request for those facing financial barriers. Once your profile is published, you can browse the profiles of other BIPOC artists, and connect with them through CBA’s private and secure internal messaging system!
You can also find opportunities, whether calls for artists, job positions, funding and award notices, and professional development listings. Another benefit of membership is our dedicated monthly opportunity newsletter with all the latest opportunities!

ABOUT CULTUREBREW.ART
CultureBrew.Art (CBA) is a digital platform that promotes and fosters intersectional interculturalism throughout the literary, media, performing, and visual arts sectors – and beyond! A powerful tool for building a more inclusive arts sector that more authentically reflects Canada by promoting Indigenous and racialized artists, CBA aims to increase hiring opportunities for BIPOC artists, while fostering intercultural connection, community, and artistic collaboration.
Based on input from accessibility testers as well as artist and engager feedback through regular consultation, we are constantly making improvements and updates to CultureBrew.Art. Key members of our team include Co-Directors Valerie Sing Turner (Creative Lead), and Anju Singh (Technical Lead)
It's been said that farmers don't grow crops; they create the essential conditions for crops to grow. CBA will be a vital tool to break systemic divides, disrupt institutionalized structures, and create conditions under which BIPOC artists – and by extension, the wider Canadian arts ecology – can thrive. We are therefore grateful for support from:
