Neruda Arts’ philosophy includes striving to present culturally diverse performances that would otherwise be under-represented in Canada. We are also focused on collaborating with our volunteers, who are mainly students from the region of Waterloo, especially those students benefiting from English as a Second Language classes, to produce quality programming. While supporting arts from around the g

lobe, Neruda Arts has a strong focus on presenting work from New Canadian and emerging artists as they develop their craft in a Canadian context. Neruda Arts is dedicated to the artistic development of local artists, and the career development of professional artists working within our areas of focus, while striving to foster and expand audiences for diverse art forms locally, nationally and internationally.

El pasado 7 de febrero, Neruda Arts y Mapu Chile organizaron un evento solidario para las víctimas de los incendios forestales en la Región de Bío Bío, Chile.

Quisimos focalizar nuestra ayuda, y todo lo donado fue distribuido por la organización Casa de Salud en Concepción para ayudar a niños afectados en una escuela de la Región de Bío Bío.

Como Neruda Arts, queremos agradecer la participación de nuestra comunidad y de Mapu Chile, así como la gran labor realizada por Casa de Salud en Concepción.
