The Black Arts Centre

Artist Directory

The Black Artist Directory is a digital record of the Black artists and creatives situated in the Surrey and Greater B.C area, maintained by our team. This directory aims to inform the BLAC team of the practices of the Black cultural producers in this city and provides a platform for resource and knowledge sharing between BLAC, the artists and community members we aim to serve. The directory aids the BLAC team in connecting Black artists with partner organizations when professional development opportunities arise. The BLAC team adamantly believes that Black artists should be properly compensated for their time and labour. To that effect, the BLAC team facilitates the relationships between external organizations and the artists in our directory to ensure fair compensation and working conditions during projects. 

The benefits goal of being part of this community include:

Building a network of established, mid career and emerging Black Creatives - a support system of reciprocity;

Access to the Black Arts Centres physical space and resources;

Workshops;

Materials;

Events;

Getting connected to artistic opportunities that are vetted as equitable and caring;

The Black Arts Centre (BAC) is a Black youth owned and operated gallery and community site. The space is conveniently located at Surrey Central Station, and is scheduled to open in Spring 2023
