OYA BLACK ARTS COALITION

A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Black artists, creators and entrepreneurs within the entertainment sector. Our current Emerging Filmmakers program provides mentorship, networking, and essential skills training to post-secondary graduates of film, television, and digital media programs to kickstart their careers and increase employment opportunities. After three years of success, we’ve expanded our services to mid-career filmmakers/artists fostering the development, production and/or distribution of their projects, and we’ve created the OYA Scale Up Initiative to increase the number and capacity of Black Entrepreneurs within Ontario.
