The annual UBC Giving Day is Thursday, April 3 – a special 24-hour celebration of giving that brings students, alumni, faculty, staff and donors together to make our voices heard. Last year, thousands of donors helped open doors, boost potential and create new opportunities for our community.
In FCCS, we are supporting the Indigenous Art Intensive (IAI). The IAI is like a brush dipped in both tradition and new vision, painting a shared canvas where contemporary Indigenous creativity can flourish. This month-long residency gathers students, artists, curators, writers and scholars to engage in contemporary ideas and discourse—a place for new ideas rooted in Indigenous art-making.
Your support this UBC Giving Day would mean the world to us, it goes beyond funding a program—it directly supports the Indigenous artists who bring this vision to life. Supporting the Indigenous Art Intensive ensures these artists can continue creating, sharing, and teaching in meaningful ways.
This program directly supports artists, with funds going directly towards supporting our Indigenous artists in residence. Art requires engagement and connection; and supporting artists directly is the best way support creativity in our places.
Please join us on April 3 to keep this creative circle strong, where Indigenous voices paint brighter horizons and our shared community grows even stronger.
