Additional Information
 
TAC recognizes the distinct role of Indigenous people within Toronto’s diverse communities, and the city’s rich historic and cultural significance as a place for ceremony, gathering, trade and exchange.  The Indigenous Arts Projects program was conceived after a consultation process with members of the Indigenous arts community in Toronto.  It has been designed with the goal to increase participation in and access to Toronto Arts Council funding by Indigenous artists, while increasing the creation and presentation of Indigenous art in the City.
