Tatar Art Projects (TAP) is a global art consulting firm based in Toronto, connecting clients and communities through art. TAP recognizes the role Art plays in uplifting diverse voices, challenging inequities and building understanding. For these reasons and more, we are actively seeking to build strengthen our knowledge of and relationships with artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of colour for a number of public art projects in our pipeline.

Tatar Art Projects welcomes BIPOC artists to submit examples of their work to be considered for inclusion in our artist database, a primary resource for our current and upcoming art projects.

For the purposes of this call, the definition of an artist is a regular practitioner who:

    • Has completed basic academic training in art or an apprenticeship with an accomplished practitioner in the field, or

    • Maintains an artistic practice and has publicly shared an independent body of their work for at least two years, or

    • Is recognized as an artist by peers within their community.
