Sapp Poetry + Art

SAPP is an affiliate publication of Sapperton Community Arts Association, a non-profit based in the historic Sapperton District of New Westminster, British Columbia. Founded in 2024 by Canadian poet Emily Molinari, SAPP is run by a dedicated Board of Directors and volunteers who take pride in showcasing local and emerging poets, photographers, and artists in their annual publication. SAPP hosts regular community arts events that give writers and artists the opportunity to connect in person and build relationships within their community, and limited print runs of each issue are available at various indie bookshops in BC.

Any funds raised through sale of our publication or merchandise goes towards paying  contributors, covering production costs, running contests, hosting community events, or directly to our indie bookstore partners. When you support SAPP, you help #keeptheartsalive in your community!

SAPP is committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment. We aim to showcase diverse perspectives, and encourage writers and artists of historically marginalized communities to submit their work. We do not tolerate hate-speech of any kind, and are committed to fostering an environment that does not discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, ethnicity, dis/ability, age, religion, or other factors.
