You Got This Gigs

A call-sharing resource that connects creative individuals and organizations across Canada,
You Got This Gigs has become a relied-upon social media presence for creatives to learn what’s out there!

I started the account in 2021, and since then have been kept busy with researching and reposting all that’s out there.

Sharing creative calls for y’alls!

What started as a way to share occasional calls to pals has quickly snowballed into a cross-country resource for creatives.

You Got This Gigs, starting in 2021, shares over 1000 opportunities for Canadian creatives every year. It reposts calls for visual artists, performers, motion artists, writers and those who work in creative fields about opportunities open for them. By amplifying the reach of arts organizations’ calls and connecting them to individuals, YGTG has been a helpful boost for a lot of folks over the past few years!

I started the account as an off-hand way to share heads-up for friends, but it’s now grown bigger than I ever imagined and been of far more use to folks than I realized. We’ve just topped 10K followers, and reach 42K views every month.

2024 feedback
" I have so much respect for the work you are doing for the community, akimbo has nothing on you! Additionally, I feel like your work reflects and serves the working class / often underpaid artist demographic in a way that other grant data bases /job boards do not."

2024 feedback
"I am able to find opportunities that call a wide range of artists from emerging to established when some arts job/call boards only serve to further prop up those with a safety net and pre-existing opportunities and access. "

2024 feedback
"Your service may be a paid one, but I think the fee reflects the sheer amount of labour you put in to help connect artists to opportunities. "

2024 feedback
"I really enjoyed my experience working with You Got This Gigs! They were very friendly, communicative, and responsive. I suspect that the (very affordable) ad and Story Boost led to a good chunk of my submission (based on my analytics) compared to more expensive alternatives."
