Arts Beats Culture is a multi diverse community of creatives and artists.
We help give a voice to those who may feel they don't have one.
We come together to support, inspire, and encourage each other to keep creating, and help grow the confidence to share our diverse talents.
We are a community of Artists, Old and New, and we are here to support YOU - the new artists that are finding their artist voice, old artists that may have lost their way, and for all the creative artists out there that need a little more inspiration in their lives!
We never want to stop creating - art is the heart’s work, without it - who are we?
We believe everyone is an artist and that every artist needs support!
We all deserve to have our hearts work, our art works, seen and heard, felt and honoured; we are here for all of it!
We celebrate you and your creativity, your work, your passion, your art, YOU!
“Excitement is going to take over nervousness and confidence will replace fear” - Angel Elliott, Community Member
We came together as a group of struggling creatives; we had lost our creative voices and needed help getting our artist selves out into the world. Some of us hadn’t shared our heart’s work for over 10 years, and for some of us this was our first ever time ever sharing to the world! We wanted to inspire the creativity in each of us and keep our artists alive! And so, we created AHA, that ‘AHA’ moment of artistic creation that lights up the soul, no matter how big or small it is;
AHA is “After Hours Arts” and “Artists Honouring Artists” - a safe, non-judgemental open mic inspired event, that gives the chance for our creative voices to be seen and heard by an audience that are not just with through a similar journey, but who also truly care about you and your heart’s work!
AHA is like no other event; all art is welcomed! It is a chance for you to test out your artistic creations in front of a live audience, and be supported, inspired, and encouraged through any nervousness with a group of like minded creative souls who just want to see you do your thing! We are really here for it all! We know that there is nothing like a live audience, nothing like the real deal to see how your heart work lands.
“Here to inspire you, and be inspired by you” - Tianna Alexander, Visionary Behind ABC
