Calgary Arts Development plays a leadership role to promote, foster and direct investments that develop the capacity of Calgary's arts sector to achieve public and artistic impact. 

As the city's designated arts development authority, we are a central hub that learns about, promotes, connects, advocates for, and leads strategic initiatives in the arts to animate Calgary as a vibrant cultural centre. Calgary Arts Development allocates municipal funding for the arts provided by The City of Calgary through granting programs that support operations and innovation for more than 190 arts organizations in Calgary.

For additional information on what we're all about, read our 2012 Strategic Plan Summary and take some time to read through our Backgrounder and  Calgary's Civic Arts Policy.

If you want to stay informed about what we're up to, sign up for our mailing list (at the top of the right column), subscribe to our blogs, or join us on Twitter or Facebook.
