The Full Story
Who We Are
The Artistè Foundation is a Canada-based global arts and humanitarian organization dedicated to empowering women, refugees, survivors, and youth through creativity, education, and cultural preservation.
At Artistè, we celebrate the power of creativity, culture, and identity. The accent in our name is more than a mark; it is a symbol of heritage, a nod to our roots, and a reminder that every story, every creation, and every voice matters. Through our work, we empower artists and change-makers to honour their past, express their truth, and inspire the future.
We believe that creativity is not a privilege but a pathway to dignity, belonging, and transformation.
Our programs use art as a tool for empowerment and healing, offering opportunities for education, mentorship, cross-cultural collaboration, and advocacy. Through creative initiatives and events, we amplify the voices of survivors, connect them with mental health support, and help newcomers and women artists develop their craft through exhibitions and community engagement.
