Bring Art Back to City (BABC) is a creative initiative focused on uplifting artists and designers across diverse disciplines. We've launched a dedicated WhatsApp group to connect a vibrant network of creatives with purpose and passion. This community fosters encouragement, collaboration, and sharing of opportunities across the visual, performing, literary, culinary, and digital arts.
Whether you're a visual artist, illustrator, animator, fashion designer, craftsperson, or digital creator, writer, choreographer, cartoonist, architect, videographer, photographer, poet, voice artist, culinary artist, this group is a space to grow together—professionally and personally. Members can share job openings, freelance opportunities, business leads, upcoming events, workshops, and insightful resources.
This initiative is born out of a desire to build a purpose-driven creative circle where talent is valued, support is mutual, and inspiration is abundant. The community is open to passionate artists and designers who resonate with a deeper sense of calling in their craft.
If you're looking for a space to connect, collaborate, and create — BABC welcomes you.
… we’ve missed loads but you get the idea!
Let’s grow in purpose, excellence, and creativity—together.
