About this service

Overly Creative Minds (OCM) offers Indigenous youth ages 11 to 24 a safe and welcoming space to explore arts and culture, and to find and strengthen your voice.

We celebrate, and help you develop your voice and perspective through arts and culture programming at OCM. This includes everything from music to visual art, performance, spoken word, and traditional arts and crafts. We encourage you to explore activities that are important to you at OCM, and will support you in your cultural and artistic curiosity. Space, support, and teachings are offered for traditional cultural activities, including talking circles and smudge.

We facilitate skill-building, leadership, and community engagement, while encouraging you to pursue your own personal, educational, and career goals. Through acquiring specific knowledge, technical skills, and hands-on experience, you'll have the chance to develop your confidence and leadership abilities.
