why support BPL?

Hello!

​We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy:)

BPL is a Toronto-based art collective cultivating creative energies for social impact. Since 2014 we have been producing original content and engaging in meaningful collaborations to elevate diverse stories through Music, Film, Visual Arts, Live Performance, Digital Media and Public Art. BPL needs to be able to navigate the shifting arts and culture landscape without interrupting the momentum behind projects that are making a real difference. 

 

When you join our journey by contributing monetarily, your support not only allows us to produce projects like ArtHouseTO, your generosity will also support us to hire other creatives, scale up and provide opportunities for others to develop their particular artistic skill sets. 

Financial support of BPL directly translates to creation, exhibition, and facilitation of original artworks, platforms for arts-based solutions, and advocacy for artists and the arts in society at large. Our legacy of engaging artists, activists and communities to produce meaningful art experiences with positive ripple effect is evident on our website and social media channels. 

 

Current Projects:

ArtHouseTO

ArtHouseTO Pop Ups

Community Crisis, Mutual Aid And Activist Resources For The GTA

Andrea Battersby Artist

Geoff Doner Music  

 

We will be focusing the majority of our funding efforts on ArtHouseTO and related projects. The ArtHouseTO community on Instagram is growing and we are scaling up this project with revolving pop ups, installations, events, interviews, workshops, live performances at our storefront live/work studio in Riverdale, Toronto. We will also be reaching out to our followers to co-create facilitated info sessions about the ArtHouseTO project and are developing ArtHouseTV, a Much Music-type series that builds on the Instagram account and will involve collaboration with our followers. Follow @arthouseto and stay in the loop!

Advocating for the artists and work of BPL today is part of our collective mission to fight for validation of creatives and the environments required for professional development and production. We at BPL ARE those Artists and Creatives.

Please consider donating and supporting our work. Every bit counts:) Your contribution will help us deliver creative opportunities for positive social impact. We look forward to cultivating a relationship of mutual fertilization and support with you.

 

Thank you so much!
