Who are we?
AIM is a dynamic nexus of grassroots activists and artists that serves as a beacon of creativity and social change. We bring together local up-and-coming artists who are passionate about making a positive impact on both local and global levels
Central to AIM's mission is the spirit of giving back. We view altruism as an integral to our collective identity, and seek opportunities to promote our artists while enacting change. Whether it's through collaborations with charitable organizations, fundraising events, or community outreach projects, we channel our creativity and resources towards making a positive impact on the world around us.
AIM stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the unwavering belief that artists have a vital role to play in shaping a better future.
Our Story
As childhood friends growing up in a community where perceived practicality outweighed creativity, artistic pursuits became an illogical pastime for AIM's founders. As we grew up and ventured into different paths, we couldn't ignore the persistent frustrations we faced.
​
Living in Montreal, we discovered a wealth of untapped talent, and witnessed the struggles faced by local up-and-coming artists in promoting their work. Upon meeting fellow peers who recognized that traditional forms of activism often felt disconnected from genuine impact, we know we weren't alone in our frustrations. We wanted to break free from the status quo and create something meaningful, understanding that this could only be accomplished through the collaboration of likeminded artists and activists.
​
With this vision, the Artist Impact Movement was born. We believe that creativity has the power to inspire, drive change, and bring communities together. By championing ethical practices and community-driven initiatives, AIM strives to create a space where art is valued, artists are celebrated, and positive change thrives.
