HOW CAN I HELP?

Happily, Coalition members often ask how they can help with the "Great Arts = Great City" Initiative. Right now, we do need help. We're putting together six working groups to help develop a number of the Initiative's key elements.

Together with Toronto Arts Council Foundation staff and board members, working group members will meet in online forums and, occasionally, face-to-face. Members with special expertise will likely be consulted individually from time to time.

You can find out what's involved by clicking through to any of the following:
