Nia Centre is a Toronto-based organization connecting Black artists of all experience levels and backgrounds to mentorship and opportunities to hone their artistic practices. All their work is rooted in the conviction that Black artistic traditions can nurture community and foster healthy identities for generations to come. Nia Centre’s professional development program, Left of Centre, is connecting thousands of emerging artists to funding, seminars and consulting that help foster transferable skills and career mobility. With Hudson’s Bay Foundation’s support, Nia Centre is relaunching their micro-grants program to help participants access creative equipment and software, critical to their professional and artistic development.
