The Flash Forward Incubator Program builds an inclusive arts community that fosters diversity in our future leaders and art stars. This dynamic, coast-to-coast program creates a vibrant and connected community, one that brings youth from diverse backgrounds together to share their art with each other and the rest of Canada. Through an online platform, hands-on mentorships and leadership opportunities, Flash Forward Incubator promotes specialized training in arts, culture, and new media, where unique voices are empowered and a sense of belonging and inclusiveness is cultivated.
Through nationwide gallery exhibitions, professional and post-secondary associations and festival partnerships, Magenta is committed to cultivating the next generation of artists in Canada by giving youth their first public presentation and publication opportunity, with access to key artistic and cultural communities. This portal allows young people to elevate their talents and abilities for a future in the arts as cultural producers within and beyond their communities.
