Join the City of Kitchener’s Artist Registry. This registry is used exclusively by City of Kitchener departments as a resource for City‑led events and mentorship opportunities. Your information will not be shared outside of relevant City departments.
Registration does not guarantee or obligate the City to engage or contract you. If the City is interested in working with you or your collective, a representative will reach out directly to discuss availability and any additional details.
Each year, we will reach out to ask you to review and update your information.
