Our Story
Four Mothers Collective was founded in 2021 as a grassroots art collective led by Indigenous women. We were created to address the lack of representation, resources, and support available to BIPOC women, girls, and Two-Spirit artists. Many artists in our communities face barriers to materials, professional development, and spaces to share their work. Four Mothers Collective was built to change that.
Located in the Mvskoke Nation, our collective provides a welcoming space where BIPOC artists can express themselves, learn, and grow. Inspired by the strength and guidance of our matriarchs, we work to uplift cultural expression, intergenerational learning, and artist empowerment.
Our mission is to provide creative supplies, workshops, classes, exhibitions, and mentorship opportunities that support Indigenous and BIPOC artists in building confidence, skills, and creative careers. Through community events, artist support programs, and youth arts programming, we help artists reclaim space in the art world and celebrate the stories that shape us.
Four Mothers Collective continues to grow through partnerships with local organizations, universities, museums, and national collaborators. Today, our work includes a nationally traveling art exhibition, expanded youth programming, and ongoing community partnerships that honor and amplify Indigenous creativity.
