We need your support<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve landed on this page because you\u2019re wondering how you might be able to support the important work we do at the National accessArts Centre (NaAC). We are proud to be Canada\u2019s oldest and largest disability arts organization \u2014 and now, with our new national mandate, we are also the country\u2019s first multidisciplinary disability arts organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020-21, public sector investments totaled under 40% of our revenues, with the rest coming from philanthropic grants as well as the generosity of individual and corporate donors. As we aim to support our growing community of more than 300 artists living with physical and developmental disabilities, this support is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot to unpack when we call ourselves a disability arts organization, but fundamentally, our vision is to provide our community with a platform to advance themselves creatively and stand strong on their merits and their efforts as artists \u2013 and this doesn\u2019t just happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your support allows us to develop meaningful and responsive programs to advance artistic training, creation, exhibition, and presentation opportunities for our artists \u2014 while also giving us the much-needed capacity to advocate for more meaningful, inclusive practices in our arts and culture sector that can shine a deserving light on the creativity of artists living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this work needs to be done to create a more just, equitable world for artists with disabilities \u2014 and we need your support. If you believe like we do that our artists need to be supported, celebrated, included, and showcased locally and around the world, then let\u2019s talk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
