About

BAO’s Newcomer Creative Exchange program has been developed to create a space for Brampton-based newcomer creatives, artists and cultural workers to gather, network, create, and learn together in a welcoming and supportive environment.

For our sixth Newcomer Creative Exchange session, please join us for an evening of art as a wellness practice in a supportive community environment.

We'll also have food and drinks available throughout the event, giving you the chance to meet all the other participants and make new friends and potential collaborators.
