In Full
Vision A&C is a Montreal-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering emerging artists and underserved communities through inclusive and community-driven art initiatives. We provide creative mentorship, access to media platforms, and opportunities for artistic development that promote self-expression, social inclusion, and cultural engagement. Our programs are designed to remove barriers to participation in the arts, especially for youth, newcomers, and marginalized groups. By fostering collaboration and visibility, we aim to strengthen community connections and support sustainable creative careers. Vision A&C believes in the transformative power of the arts to build more equitable, vibrant, and connected communities.
Our history
Vision A&C has transitioned out of the Umbrella Organization to establish itself as an independent organization, with the goal of securing its own funding and leading its projects with complete autonomy. This move reflects our commitment to building a unique and inclusive culture rooted in respect, equity, and community empowerment—where art and culture are not just forms of expression, but tools for meaningful social change.
In 2024–2025, The Dep Media and the Necessity Art Fair made a meaningful impact by centering mental health and youth creativity in community dialogue. Through in-depth interviews, roundtable discussions, and cultural programming, The Dep elevated voices often unheard—highlighting mental health barriers, local policy, and the healing power of art. Meanwhile, the Necessity Art Fair provided a professional platform for young and diverse artists to share their work, engage over 600 attendees, and foster cultural exchange through exhibitions and workshops. Together, these initiatives are strengthening community connections and using art and storytelling as catalysts for equity and social change.
