Canvas Arts Action Programs (CANVAS)

CANVAS online shop and Arts-based product development

CANVAS’s mission is to prevent gender-based and sexual violence, homophobia, and transphobia. They provide life-saving arts-based workshops, consultations and educational programs focused on 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion, consent, healthy relationships, and gender equity. They also run an online shop that sells educational posters, pins, and poetry chapbooks created by in-house artists and program participants. CANVAS plans to adapt and expand the shop, reinvesting its revenue in its mission of increasing 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion and consent education for youth.
