Text on infographic reads, CALL TO ACTION: Act Now for the Arts in Canada

We are proud to join the non-partisan Canadian Arts Coalition, to fight for the arts at a time when Canada needs it most. We believe it is important for arts’ sake as well as for the impact it can have on the well-being of Canadians, for its importance as an economic generator for our communities.
