About this Event
Join us for a policy workshop that will bring together art organizations, settlement agencies, immigrant artists and academics to discuss the role that the arts can have in migrant integration. There is growing recognition of the arts' potential in supporting immigrant integration. However, there is a noticeable lack of documentation concerning arts-based initiatives that are addressing the challenges faced by newcomers. Further, the lack of connections between the arts and settlement sectors is hindering knowledge exchange and collaboration.
This workshop is part of the , which aims to derive insights from the experiences of the Toronto Arts Council’s program for newcomers and refugees.
The purpose is to advance knowledge on how art can be more effectively leveraged to enhance the experience of newcomers in Toronto and other cities, and what policies are needed to support newcomer artists and communities.
