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.
