Overview
Eltuek Arts Centre/Tan etl-mawitamk is an arts centre and creative hub operated by New Dawn Enterprises. We are a non-profit cultural organization that offers affordable and accessible work space for artists, host exhibitions and programming, event rental spaces for the community, and feature the Cafe Marie and Community Kitchen, as well as several anchor tenants.
We convene an Elders Advisory Committee comprised of Elders from the Islands five Mikmaw communities. The Elders Advisory Committee works to ensure that the building and its programming are safe, welcoming, and relevant to Mikmaw artists and community members. We also convene an Advisory Committee that consists of artists, tenants, and members of the creative community across Unamaki/Cape Breton.
We strongly believe in all the benefits of the arts to communities their ability to transform places, give people hope, give people a new way to see themselves and the world, start conversations, connect, challenge, bring joy. We are artist-led and artist-focused.
To this end, we want to make the arts more visible to give people a place to work that is safe, inclusive, affordable, and beautiful.
