Visual Arts Mississauga (VAM) is launching a new and innovative arts education program to connect local artists with students across the Peel Region—ArtReach: Artists in Our Neighbourhood. We are looking to collaborate with Black, Indigenous, and artists of colour to design high-quality, hands-on art projects that will showcase each artists’ creative practice. This new program is a paid opportunity for selected artists, and will provide curriculum-aligned art learning experiences for students aged 4 – 14 that are thoughtfully developed in collaboration with VAM’s Curriculum Developer.
Visual Arts Mississauga (VAM) is a not-for-profit community arts organization that has served Mississauga for over 47 years. As a leading centre for visual arts education, exhibitions, and outreach, VAM delivers accessible programming that fosters creativity, cultural participation, and lifelong learning. We provide 150+ art workshops annually, engaging over 2,000 students through school programs and community partnerships.
