THE GREENPRINT ACADEMY
The Greenprint Academy is a free after-school arts mentorship program that connects high school students with some of Toronto's leading artists, educators, and creative professionals. Through weekly, hands-on programming in songwriting, performance, dance, photography, and other creative disciplines, youth are given the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to discover their artistic voice and build confidence in who they are.
More than an arts program, the Academy is a space where young people are seen, challenged, and supported. Participants work alongside practicing artists in small-group and one-on-one mentorship, develop original creative work, gain insight into the realities of creative careers, and become part of a community that celebrates their ideas, identities, and lived experiences.
Each cohort culminates in NEXT UP, a public showcase where students present their work alongside established artists, celebrating months of growth with family, friends, educators, and the wider community.
HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS
An online series that highlights the deep connection between music and literature, while challenging the harmful stereotype that artists, especially Black artists, are uneducated or disconnected from intellectual and literary influence.
Featuring eight Toronto-based artists, each session unfolds in two parts. The first is a live musical performance, where artists collaborate with the Greenprint Network house band to record an original song. The second invites each artist to read a passage from a book that has influenced their craft, followed by a reflection on how these works have shaped their artistic voice and creative process.
By bringing music and literature into conversation, Print Sessions creates space for artists to share not only their sound but the ideas, stories, and texts that inform their work.
