Calling all artists and storytellers!

Have you been looking for someone to co-create with, who shares your values around shining a light on underrepresented groups, topics, and lived experiences through art?

Are you interested in networking with people in the creative sector, or in the public health and social good sectors?

Do you self-identify as either...

Event Structure

Storytellers will be matched with a series of Artists/Creators, whose goals and values align well with each other based on our intake forms. The initial meeting will take place online, in a group setting, on April 25th, 2021, at 2pm EST.

What happens once a match has been made?

Firstly, every successful match will receive an honorarium of $100 each! That's right, we celebrate you for telling your authentic stories for change and making connections with us. Once collaborative teams have been successfully formed, the matches can go off and start creating their projects together! Along their journey, teams will have access to ongoing workshops, coaching and consulting hosted by Taboo Health to support everything from "Finding the Courage to Tell your Story", "Crafting Your Story", project management, and applying for grants.
