We Live Up Here is a non-profit urban arts organization in weird and wonderful Sudbury, Ontario.

We Live Up Here has evolved from a grassroots “DIY Tourism Campaign for Sudbury” into a world-class urban art and music promoter. We Live Up Here produces the annual Up Here festival, an independent urban art and emerging music event in August.

Every summer, Up Here brings together dozens of muralists, musicians and installation artists to transform downtown Sudbury into an urban art gallery. With over fifty concerts by emerging Canadian artists, Up Here is an intimate multi-venue experience with pop-up concerts in surprising locations. We Live Up Here has created and curated over sixty pieces of public art in Sudbury since 2013.

“We create space and playfully disrupt to inspire and build a better community.”
— Our Mission

We are building a workplace culture which centres on our core values of shared responsibility, compassion, respect, equity, diversity, inclusivity, and inquisitiveness, while being in sync with team capacity.

We are seeking highly self-motivated and experienced professionals who are passionate about community building, public art, emerging music and presenting creative events in an urban setting.

“We live in a place where anything is possible.”
— Our Vision
