By 2028, ART LAB DCI aims to become a leading cultural and educational centre in New Brunswick – connecting communities through creativity, innovation and intercultural collaboration.
We strive to:
ART LAB DCI is a place where art drives education, dialogue and positive community change.
The mission of ART LAB DCI Inc. is to create an open, inclusive, and inspiring space where everyone—regardless of age, background, or social status—can discover their creative potential, gain new knowledge, and build confidence and a sense of belonging. We aim to reach over 300 participants each year, engage at least five ethnocultural communities, and ensure that up to 50% of our programs remain accessible to socially vulnerable groups. For us, art and education are more than skills — they are powerful tools for self-expression, social integration, emotional well-being, and the development of active and responsible citizenship. A special part of our work is the creation of festivals, celebrations, and community events that bring joy, connection, and cultural enrichment to families and neighbourhoods. Through these events, we help newcomer families feel welcomed, build community spirit, and create meaningful shared experiences.
We believe that creative initiatives can transform the spaces we live in. That is why ART LAB DCI is committed to positively influencing the development of the City of Saint John and the province of New Brunswick by:
We create joy. We build opportunities. We inspire the community.
