Why We’re Creating This Directory
Nelson is home to a rich tapestry of creative voices. Yet, too often, artists from different cultural backgrounds face barriers to visibility and recognition.
This project is collaborative and community-led. We celebrate cross-cultural voices, empower people, and ensure every artistic journey is represented with care, authenticity, and visibility.
Their Arts Journey seeks to change that. As part of Cultural Conversations’ commitment to increasing visibility and opportunities for local creatives across visual art, sculpture, music, dance, and more we’re excited to introduce a dedicated platform for artists to share their stories, skills, and artistry.
The directory seeks to:
-
Amplify underrepresented voices in our community.
-
Connect artists with galleries, businesses, and cultural institutions.
-
Create pathways for collaboration, commissions, and opportunities.
Check out the amazing artists below and find out how you can support their incredible talent.
