“We must not ask what we hope for but where we hope from.”

Our vision for the future of Cherry Community Events is to:

  • Secure non-profit status

  • Provide a platform for artists to actualize their community-engaging event ideas through mutually enriching partnership

  • Attract donors and sponsors who share our vision of barrier-free or otherwise affordable access to the arts for people of all ages, statuses, backgrounds, and conditions

  • Deliver programming that delivers quality through content over quantity

  • Build a reputation, brick by brick, of event coordination that is efficient, reliable, and personable

  • Develop a network of artists, performers, organizations, funders, and venues who would benefit through our facilitation

Cherry Community Events is an emerging organization currently seeking non-profit status. Our mission seeks to support artist educators, arts organizations, administrators, and advocates alike in service of the broader public. We work collaboratively to elevate and advocate for arts access in Ontario.
