Black History Month Artist Spotlight

A dark grey banner with red, orange, and green wavy lines. White text on the banner reads: Black History Month Artist Spotlight.

As part of our ongoing work to uplift and create a platform for the talented community of IBPOC artists across Canada, Ontario Presents is launching our Black History Month Artist Spotlight Initiative to highlight the amazing work created by Black performing artists. Each week on Friday, we will spotlight one performing artist and share their profile with our community across social media for a total of four artist spotlights. We encourage you to connect with these phenomenal artists and to remember that starting a relationship with an artist can begin with an invitation to lead a workshop, sit on a panel, create or collaborate.

Week 1 (Jan. 30 - Feb. 3): Kae Sun
