Build your Career at SKETCH and help transform Communities!
SKETCH Working Arts is a community-arts enterprise based in Toronto engaging young QTBIPOC artists and arts leaders, on the margins, ages 16-29, coming from across Canada. SKETCH creates equitable opportunities for diverse young people to experience the transformative power of the arts; develop their leadership and self-sufficiency in the arts, and cultivate social and environmental change through the art.
At SKETCH we understand that our employees are whole people, with different needs and expectations, both at work and outside of work. SKETCH offers a variety of benefits and flexible workplace policies that support our employees in being their complete and authentic selves.
We offer:
SKETCH office is located in the heart of Toronto, allowing our employees to enjoy easy access to public transit, restaurants, shopping, and countless other conveniences and amenities.
SKETCH is committed to ensuring that members of traditionally marginalized and equity-seeking groups, from a broad range of communities, apply for positions within the organization. SKETCH is dedicated to taking proactive steps to overcome historical patterns of discrimination in our society which have created barriers of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, language, class, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression resulting in the denial of their full participation in society.
We prioritize qualified applications from those who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, a person with disabilities, women, queer, trans or non-binary persons, or any combination of these intersections. SKETCH recognizes that people from these communities are most affected by homelessness and poverty in Toronto. We encourage you to self-identify in your application.
For over 27 years, SKETCH Working Arts has been committed to fostering a safe and inspiring space where young people can explore their creativity, develop their skills, and find their voice.
SKETCH is at a critical juncture. We are facing significant financial challenges that have led us to make difficult but necessary decisions, including reducing our operations and staff.
We are now partnering with community artists who will be in the space soon to open the doors to the SKETCH community! Stay tuned to our social media for announcements on upcoming sessions and further updates. Be sure to follow us @sketchtoronto.
Visit our website at www.sketch.ca/donate/ to make a one-time or recurring donation. Gifts of $100, $50 or even $20 can make a real difference and will receive a tax receipt.
Together, we can reset SKETCH Working Arts for a future where we continue to empower young people through the arts, with a renewed commitment to sustainability and impact.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
