artsvest Regional Welcome 2026

Welcoming the 2026 artsvest Regional Participants
Business / Arts is thrilled to introduce the 100 small arts, culture, and heritage organizations across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Toronto and Winnipeg selected for the 2026 artsvest Regional program, funded by local partners. These organizations are part of a network of 1,000+ organizations across Canada participating in artsvest training. Congratulations and welcome to all participants!
What is artsvest Regional?
artsvest Regional is an extension of the national artsvest program, operating in regions with a local funding partner. This program offers matching fund opportunities and delivers more in-depth training, peer-to-peer learning, and mentorship focused on sponsorship.
Currently, there are over 1,000 organizations participating in the national artsvest program. Through artsvest Regional, our partnerships with public funders enable us to increase impact by providing matching funds to select organizations for new sponsorship dollars raised.
The organizations selected for artsvest Regional were chosen based on their commitment to serving rural, remote, and/or equity-seeking communities through their mission and programming. By supporting small organizations that operate with limited resources, artsvest Regional helps organizations grow, enhance organizational resilience and diversify their revenue streams.
