CBC Arts curates the best arts-related stories, videos and audio clips from across the CBC network and beyond. Our mission is to inspire Canadians to engage with the arts — whether that means visiting a gallery, checking out a play, joining a choir or picking up a good book. And our definition of "art" is expansive: from your local hip-hop cypher or yarn-bombing collective to fine art auctions and contemporary opera to the flowering of creativity on the web and social media — it's all fair game.
