The National accessArts Centre presented by TD (NaAC) is proud to announce that it has been selected as the national partner for PATTISON Outdoor Advertising’s Elevating Voices Media Grant.

First launched in 2023, the program supports regional and national organizations working to amplify the voices of equity-deserving communities, including ethno-cultural groups, the 2SLGBTQI+ community, women, persons with disabilities, and organizations advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

The NaAC is thrilled to have been selected as the sole national partner for 2026 – providing the organization and the artists it supports with access to $400,000 in national media value.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been selected,” said Jung-Suk Ryu, President and CEO of the NaAC. “As Canada’s leading disability arts organization, this national partnership provides an incredible platform to advocate for greater inclusion across Canada’s arts and culture sector while also showcasing the extraordinary talents of Canadian artists with disabilities.”

The campaign will roll out across Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver, with additional communities to be identified in collaboration with participating artists as part of a broader public art training and creation initiative. Additional details, including featured artists and campaign activations, will be announced in the coming months.

The NaAC wishes to thank PATTISON Outdoor Advertising – and the broader PATTISON Group –for this landmark investment in disability arts and inclusion in Canada.
