Bringing The Arts To Life

The Canadian Arts Coalition is a collaborative non-partisan advocacy movement of national associations, arts organizations and artists, lead by a volunteer Steering Committee comprised of representatives of national, provincial, regional, territorial arts organizations and/or associations committed to equity in the arts and inclusive of Indigenous, racialized, the deaf and disabled.

Summer is one of the best times to connect with your Member of Parliament.

Whether you are an independent artist, a board member, a volunteer, a cultural worker, or part of an arts organization, you have a role to play. You do not need to be a professional advocate. You simply need to share your story.
