Through initiatives like the Canadian Arts Summit, we work in partnership with arts leaders, government and the business community to ensure a thriving arts and culture sector.
We lead research and advocacy projects to help make the case for the arts.
Our arts & business exchange initiative is focused on cultivating and inspiring the next generation of business leaders to partner with the arts.
