Convened 170+ arts leaders and advocates in Ottawa for the Canadian Arts Summit, strengthening collaboration across the sector.

Supported the next generation of artistic leadership through the Emerging Leadership Program.

Equipped 3,000+ organizations with timely insights through ARTS surveys, Speaker Series webinars and the Artworks report.

Together, we’re ensuring Canada’s cultural sector thrives, bringing economic benefits, social enrichment, and joy to our communities. Thank you for championing this work, and we look forward to celebrating even greater achievements together in the year ahead.

Wishing you and your loved ones a warm and joyful holiday season,
