The E.W.o.C. Project (Equity for Women of Colour) is an initiative committed to expanding representation and creating opportunities for women of colour through community public art projects, youth workshops, and street art. The project places a focus on increasing access to the arts for under-represented communities, while often involving community engagement.
The E.W.o.C. Project was founded in 2017 and began with theBell Box Projectmurals and Outside the Box murals. It soon expanded into larger street art projects, public art projects, youth workshops, guest lectures and panels. The project continues to explore new mediums and collaborations to bring accessible art to under-served communities through an experience that is familiar and safe.
As part of our mandate, proceeds from all street art work are donated to organizations rooted in social activism.
Through paid educational and professional opportunities for emerging artists who identify as racialized women+, The E.W.o.C. Project aims to address the gaps in access, employment and space, that exist within the public art landscape.
