Left of Centre

Left of Centre is an artist development program that offers three streams of professional development: Intensive Programs, Artist Talks and Workshops, and Networking Events; designed to support artists across a variety of disciplines and experience levels. Developed in collaboration with Black artists and advisors, across a wide range of disciplines, Left of Centre seeks to support emerging Black artists in navigating traditional and non-traditional art spaces and institutions, securing funding for their work, developing their artistic practices, and continuing to inspire our creative community.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY
