“Culture is the connective tissue that binds humanity together”

The Canada Council's strategic plan and corporate plan will guide the organization as it continues its work to further enrich and deepen the artistic and cultural experience of Canadians.

In brief, the plans:

  • Continue with the five directions outlined in the 2008-11 plans.

    1. Reinforce the Council's commitment to individual artists working alone or collaboratively, as the core of artistic practice in Canada.

    2. Broaden the Council's commitment to arts organizations to strengthen their capacity to underpin artistic practices in all parts of the country.

    3. Enhance the Council's leadership role in promoting equity as a critical priority in fulfilling Canada's artistic aspirations.

    4. Make partnerships with other organizations a key element to the Council's approach to advancing its mandate.

    5. Enhance the Council's capacity to support the arts and implement change by strengthening its structure, staffing and services.

  • These five directions have an overlay of three themes:

    1. Facilitate greater synergy within the existing arts infrastructure to enhance sustainability and adaptability.

    2. Increase Council's focus on the impact of the transition to a digital society on the arts.

    3. Advance a public conversation on the value that art and artists make to everyday life
