Ink Movement

Ink Movement is a youth-run arts organization based in Mississauga. Our mission is to provide youth with a platform to express themselves through the arts, while exploring art as a medium for social change. Every year, we reach up to 2000 young people through our annual Youth Anthology, Poetry Slam and Arts Conferences. We truly believe that our existence stems from a legitimate need in the community, as the arts are increasingly seen as an invalid and unsustainable field to pursue in the Peel Region— business case competitions exist for those interested in business, science fairs for young people interested in pursuing science, and hackathons for those interested in engineering, but no such organization existed for young people interested in the arts. We believe that by offering youth an opportunity to get involved with the arts, we can create a more engaged, informed, and open-minded society.
