WhAT WE DO

CAHEP’s mandate is to develop and implement inclusive, culturally diverse, high-quality arts and heritage intergenerational programming for Thunder Bayites of all ages, most especially those from marginalized backgrounds. We increase the public’s understanding and appreciation of and for the arts by planning and delivering arts-education projects — led by professional contracted, freelance artists — to participants from all walks of life and showcase the resulting work. We travel to various locales to
deliver programming, reducing our rental costs and thus increasing our budget for programming activity, and making sure we are able to meet more people where they are at. CAHEP also provides financial support and professional development (PD) opportunities for local artists who range in age from 16-70.
