DARC X PASS THE VIBES Partnership Party

November 9 2023

6 PM - 7 PM EST

DARC is thrilled to announce that we are collaborating with Pass the Vibes (PTV) for a three-year-long mentorship.  Pass the Vibes, is a youth collective that uses programming to foster an ecosystem of inclusivity for Black + QTBIPOC. 

This initiative will allow PTV to establish drop-in workshops and community jam spaces for LGBTQ+ Black creatives to learn, connect, and express themselves in Ottawa. 

As an organizational mentor, we look forward to empowering the PTV staff with the administrative skills to manage their organization independently. 

Join us on November 9th at 6 p.m. in the Arts Court Berlanga Lounge to honour this achievement.

Our event will include food and beverages, live music and speeches from key stakeholders, including Lucille Collard, MPP for Ottawa-Vanier Riding. 

We gratefully acknowledge that this program is possible thanks to the Youth Opportunities Fund from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
