And we want to tell the world about it.

WHO WE ARE

We are a diverse group of Humber students tasked with creating an impactful digital experience that highlights stories of artist resilience and perseverance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

OUR MOTIVATION

The arts sector has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; to rebuild, advocacy is required. This website will be a platform for stakeholders to obtain a better understanding of the cultural landscape and to access resources allowing them to build back strong.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Are you an artist or creative? We want to speak with you!

The Culture's Compass team is looking to record interviews, and help you tell your story. We'd love to showcase your work in our digital gallery and on our social media accounts.

The website will be created in the early weeks of June. By the second half of June interviews will be conducted and artwork will be collected. We're looking to collect footage, artwork, and stories which will be used to highlight the journey of the artist during the COVID-19 pandemic, how they’ve overcome difficulties and continued to pursue their passions.

We have a spotlight, and we'd like you to step into it.
