We are a collective of artists and creatives located in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Region of Southern BC. We reclaim art is a medium to explore all the parts of ourselves. Reclaiming art as our voices. Reclaiming art as a protest. Reclaiming art as healing. Reclaiming art as part of what it means to be a person in the world today. 

Together we host events and retreats to make space for artists to nurture their craft while being connected to community. We also offer artist showcase events throughout the year for artists to share their work with the public. 

We want this to be a space for artists to create art and for everyone to enjoy it as a way to explore, engage and make sense of ourselves and the world around us.

This began as a brief sentence “This would be a great place for an art show”, “YES! Let’s talk more about it” and away we went. One comment at a Women’s Circle has turned into a retreat, an art show and hope for many more opportunities in the future.

Tara Teng

As a dancer, author, speaker, and all around dreamer, art has been the way that I express myself and connect with the world around me. Art has been healing and doing art together in community with my fellow artists has made life brighter in every way. I look forward to continuing to create art that makes people more curious and more engaged with the world around them and within them. 

Deb Jarvis

My primary way of creating has always swirled around presentation. Acting, writing, directing, teaching. I have always found living in other people’s shoes a great way to interact with the world and make it a more loving, accepting and thoughtful place. I love bringing out other’s skills and collaborating with designers, actors, builders and other creators to put together a big production. This is one more chance to build both my organizational abilities and give a big microphone to so many artists to celebrate their unique skills and talents.
