ArtsCan Circle, founded in 2002, was inspired by the work of Mike Stevens, a multi-talented harmonica player who began by traveling to communities in Labrador, at his own expense, to share his music with youth. ArtsCan Circle now sends teams of musicians and artists to engage children and youth in remote Northern communities in workshops in the arts. Through music and other creative arts, we hope to teach new skills, promote self-esteem and creative self-expression. Our hope is to encourage self-esteem amongst Indigenous youth in isolated communities through a cooperative exploration of the arts.
