Join Us for the 3rd Annual Art Show & Benefit
Join us for the FCJ Refugee Centre’s 3rd Art Show & Benefit, a celebration of creativity, resilience, and community!
This annual event highlights the artistic talents of refugees, precarious migrants, and their allies, offering a space for artists to share their work and stories through various forms of art. It also underscores the importance of refugee protection and advocacy while showcasing the power of artistic expression.
The event will take place on April 4th, a significant date marking Refugee Rights Day in Canada. This day commemorates the landmark 1985 Supreme Court Singh decision, which recognized refugee rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and reaches its 40th anniversary this year. (Learn more about Refugee Rights Day here: CCR Refugee Rights Day.)
Experience this vibrant exhibition featuring visual art and live performances, demonstrating the powerful role of art in advocacy and social change. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase artwork—either support refugee artists by purchasing their artwork or acquiring donated pieces from ally artists—to help fund FCJ Refugee Centre’s core programs.
