| Toronto Arts Council (TAC) has been making
grants for 30 years. In 2003, we awarded just over $8 million
to 417 Toronto organizations and 173 individual artists.
TAC is an independent body governed by a 29-member, volunteer
Board of Directors. A majority of directors are working artists.
Grants are adjudicated at arms-length from government using a
peer review system that is widely admired for fairness, transparency
and efficiency.
premise
A great city fosters a vibrant cultural scene and recognizes
the importance of the arts to the quality of life of its citizens.
Strategic municipal arts investment is a key factor in generating
a healthy city economy, promoting cultural tourism, creating
training and employment opportunities, and seeding cultural
industries.
mission
Toronto Arts Council is an arm’s length body that supports
the development, accessibility and excellence of the arts in
Toronto.
Toronto Arts Council (TAC) offers grants
programs to the city’s
arts organizations and professional artists. These programs,
funded through the City of Toronto, invest in a broad range of
activities from individual creation and small start-up projects
to some of Canada’s largest and most renowned arts institutions.
