Others are potentially available upon request.
SKETCH accepts new projects only as capacity allows. Contact myia@sketch.ca for more info.
SKETCH will provide governance, policies and trusteeship for your project as we are able but our platform is based on a mentorship model. We want to partner with you to see your project develop in the best way possible. We prioritize initiatives that address systemic barriers, increase access to the arts, and develop leadership of marginalized communities in the arts.
