Overview

Are you eager to nurture social good through arts and culture?

Caring Cultures is a 12-week fellowship bringing together 8 youth artists and other diverse creatives to explore how arts and culture can spark meaningful youth-led social change and care in the face of complex personal and global challenges from the climate crisis to social inequities and more. This virtual-only fellowship runs from Feb 17 to May 9, 2025.

Proudly presented by ArtsPond with support from Canada Council for the Arts and Ontario Arts Council, the fellowship is open to Indigenous, Racialized, d/Deaf, Disabled, and other creatives from suburban and rural communities in the regions surrounding Toronto and Hamilton.

Fellows will :

• Be paid a $3,000 flat-fee
• Engage in visionary group discussions with other fellows
• Receive one-on-one mentorship and care from community mentors and doulas
• Contribute to a collective publication that imagines caring pathways to youth-led social change in Ontario.
