Community Programs
Our Community Programs are at the heart of what we do, bringing arts based queer-affirming and consent education into diverse community spaces.
At Canvas Programs, we partner with community organizations to deliver dynamic, arts-based programming that is shaped by, for, and with participants—strengthening community care, connection, and belonging across all ages and spaces.
By extending our programming into the broader community, we are building inclusive spaces where people of all ages can feel valued, supported, and free to be themselves.
