Our focus on developing new programming and new ways of presenting it, have resulted in increased exposure and the expansion of our activities. Urban Shaman is dedicated to the Aboriginal arts community and arts community at large. Our mandate is the promotion, dissemination and expansion of discourse relating to contemporary Aboriginal art on a local, national and international level.

We are committed to serving the needs of emerging, mid-career, and established Aboriginal artists through exhibitions and associated programming, workshops, residencies and curatorial initiatives.

We are committed to facilitating artistic production, education, and the appreciation of contemporary art as an important and empowering tool for Aboriginal peoples.
