About
What does Black health look and feel like to you? Making Change invites those with a passion for art to be part of a powerful art experience as we gather creative inspiration for our upcoming Black Healthcare Professionals brochure serving Simcoe County.
We’re calling on community artists, whether emerging or experienced, to explore this question:
What inspires you as an artist when you think about Black health, wellness, and care? Making Change, in partnership with the MacLaren Art Centre, will provide a creative and inspiring space where you can contribute ideas that will help shape the visual look of a resource designed to support our Black community in accessing culturally meaningful healthcare. Facilitated by local artist Andrew Mattis, of Innisfil, who is a multi-disciplinary visual artist in Innisfil. He is an artist who works primarily in oil paintings, and his practice spans realism, figurative, abstract, and still life where his works blend emotional expression and technical skill.

Making Change
Making Change is a not-for-profit organization serving Simcoe County whose mission is to educate communities by facilitating self-awareness through impactful programs. We aim to spark broad community interest and foster conversations about inclusion and diversity, with a focus on Black culture, our Black communities, and anti-Black racism.
The organization launched in 2019, and we have grown to include a mighty team of dedicated volunteers, a Board of Directors and a Program Director. Together, we plan and coordinate community activities, projects, and events.
