Grand Culture is born out of a need to support and promote everyone who is involved in arts, culture and heritage in the region.

An Art Census of 2022 identified an overwhelming need for publicity and connection between the creative communities of Brant region. A working group of institutional and individual volunteers have worked together to form Grand Culture.

To learn more about our background, intent, and vision, you can read our Strategy.

We’re on a mission to amplify creative and cultural endeavours by providing resources and making connections that enhance experiences and expand relationships. All the while we’ll work to champion the transformational changes that maintain and grow a thriving creative, cultural and heritage community.

Our goal is to document, showcase, and support our rich cultural contributions and to nurture a future that will continue Brant region's heritage of outstanding creativity. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Brant Region is an area rich in creative and cultural endeavours and connected by the Grand River, we serve Brantford, Brant County, Six Nations of the Grand River, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Land Acknowledgement : In the heart of the Brant region, we gather on the ancestral lands of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral Peoples, among others. We recognize and respect the enduring presence, traditional knowledge, and profound contributions of these Indigenous nations to the rich cultural tapestry of this region.
