WE ARE HOMEGROWN Homegrown Arts & Media Collective is a Calgary, Alberta–based nonprofit empowering new and underrepresented voices in media. We’re building space for Alberta’s creative community rooted in care, access, and the co-liberation of stories. You’ve found our public journal!! The Road to Creative Caravan is our flagship docu-series and long-term project. We’re building a mobile media lab and taking it on the road to meet emerging artists where they are. Indigenous Reserves. Small towns. Community spaces. Places that rarely get access to creative support. The series follows the entire journey. Warts and all. Creative Caravan is released in seasonal drops. Season 1 begins January 16 and runs for 8 episodes. After that, the series moves into a quarterly rhythm: 8-episode seasons, new episodes every Friday, with a one-month break between seasons.
