The SGB Network members reflect a wide breadth of artists, from emerging artists and students to established artists living and working in the SGB region. Our goal is for the membership and Network Team to have representation of all artistic disciplines and cultural activities, including Crafts, Performing Arts, Design Arts, Festivals and Events, Heritage, Communications Media, Electronic Arts, Literary Arts, and Visual Arts.

Membership Benefits:

• The Network hosts online and in-person professional development and networking events. These events will feature guest speakers and focus on topics of interest brought forward by our membership.
• The Network also facilitates a bi-weekly online Network Chat, an informal check-in with members that has become a vital forum to share information and discuss potential issues and opportunities facing the SGB arts community.
• Members are invited to post about their upcoming events and calls for artists on the Network website. These events will be also be featured in the Network’s monthly newsletter and social media.

We aim to support a full and creative life for artists within the SGB region. We understand that new members must feel included and valued to be engaged. We are committed to ensuring the membership of this network reflects the diversity of cultures and cultural practices of all people living in the region. We will also include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our work to establish and grow this new network.
