We aim to empower Indigenous and diverse artists and encourage collaboration, inclusivity, and social change through challenging, thought provoking, and groundbreaking productions. As we look ahead to the next 20 years to come, we strive to continue an Indigenized practice that centres Indigenous and diverse voices, making space for Indigenous and diverse artists and communities across Turtle Island.

Offering dynamic contemporary programming in theatre, dance, music, circus, visual arts, as well as innovative livestream performances, The Cultch is Vancouver’s most diverse and cutting-edge arts and cultural hub. The Cultch’s purpose is to provide a performance space (physical and virtual) for diverse artists and audiences, serve as a space for artistic experimentation, develop local companies, and present groundbreaking national and international work.
