WePress

WePress is an artist-led community arts organization focused on the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver on the ancestral, unceded and occupied territories of the Xmuthqueyem, Skwxwu7mesh and Selilwitulh Peoples.

Through community-led programs and mutual learning, we create accessible spaces where art-making becomes a radical act of community care and collective power. We work with those most impacted by systemic injustice to provide resources, skills, and opportunities that challenge traditional dynamics in the arts sector.

We honour varied survival needs and creative expression and see them as closely entwined. We are building a creative ecosystem where resources are shared horizontally, embodied knowledge is valued, and everyone's right to artistic voice is recognized as fundamental to cultural transformation.
