In recent years, there has been a concerted effort by the Ontario Arts Council to move to a more inclusive business model – a grant-giving paradigm that more effectively reaches the province’s 52K artists.
The latest OAC Strategic Plan (2008-2013) recognizes this funding dilemma and is intent upon re-dressing this historical cultural and funding inequality. The strategic plan is all about making connections with artists and arts organizations throughout the entire province. It seriously addresses the questions: “How to cultivate a healthy, growing and diverse community of artists?”
The document identifies the OAC’s approach to funding over the next three years and I urge you to read its eleven pages. Not a difficult read at all. Knowing a funder's priorities will make it easier for you to connect your work with their funding urgencies.
