ArtsCan Circle
ArtsCan Circle sends teams of musicians and artists to remote Canadian Indigenous communities to link creative artists with Indigenous youth at risk.
The teams conduct hands-on workshops in playing instruments, songwriting, singing, drama and visual arts to build self-esteem amongst Indigenous youth and encourage postitive outlets for self-expession through the arts.
We also deliver donated musical instruments to each participating community to ensure youth have access to instruments on an on-going basis.

Benefit Concerts & House Concerts
ArtsCan Circle invites fans and musicians to build community while having a great time and raising some funds.
We continue to struggle against the high transportation costs of sending teams of musicians and artists to work with Indigenous youth in isolated communities. As a fundraising initiative, ArtsCan Circle has started a Benefit Concert Series. We have some amazing musicians who have already volunteered to perform and we're seeking venues/homes to host the concerts. If you can host a concert or house concert and provide space for 20 or more people, or you are a professional musican interested in donating a performance, please contact Carol at info@artscancircle.ca.
