We use our skills and influence for good, amplifying the voices of those who need to be heard.
Our Story.
Launched in 2010 by a group of young professionals who believed that art and creativity had the power to affect social change.
By 2015, Artbound achieved Canadian Charitable Foundation status and is now looking ahead to continue our work with trusted charitable partners supporting projects around the world. Always keeping creativity at the core of our initiatives, we have created programs raising over $1 million dollars to support communities in need of basic necessities, fight the cycle of poverty and empower youth.
Our Core Pillars
Empowerment
By taking the time to understand their challenges firsthand, Artbound partners with communities providing responsive support where they need it most. We are not just giving those in need financial aid, but learning, listening, and empowering the next generation with the critical tools to express themselves and champion lasting change in their communities.
Creativity
We believe in transforming communities through art inspired social impact. Partnering with artists and those passionate about the arts, we leverage the power of creativity to raise funds for our charity partners to affect positive change all over the world.
Community
The fundraising landscape has changed but the urge to give back and make a difference has not. We bring together a like-minded community by offering new ways to get involved using our skills and influence for good.
Why Creativity?
In 1943, Dr. Abraham Maslow outlined the hierarchy of human needs including physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
Self-actualization needs refer to the realization of a person's potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. Maslow describes this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be.
At Artbound we believe that expression is the basis for self-actualization and we are always in pursuit of supporting basic needs so that creativity can flourish.
