Our 2007 Report to Community, titled 'Engaging Community. Engaging Art' is now available.

This report outlines our activities over the 2007 calendar year, including work to renew Calgary Arts Development's granting programs and strengthen our investment in the community, progress to date on initiatives like the Arts Spaces Strategy, our web projects, community collaborations and more.

We're pleased to report on a busy and exciting year and would like to thank all the people who made it possible, including our Board, staff and volunteers, the City of Calgary, our many partners and collaborators and most importantly, the engaged and amazing community of artists and arts organizations we serve.

• Acting Wisely: We strive to be aware of what we know and what we do not know and to take this awareness into account when we act. We do not let lack of data prevent us from acting wisely.
• Loving Creativity: We believe in the potential of all Calgarians to be creatively engaged in building their city, and in the potential of Calgary to be a creative force for the good of the world.
• Open Systems: None of us is as smart as all of us. We always strive for transparency and openness. We have nothing to hide and much to gain by always sharing, inviting, learning, and collaborating.
• Authenticity: We see and appreciate the truth of the people, places and projects we deal with.
• The Word “Yes”: We create the conditions for success. We strive to see the potential in people and initiatives, and to be part of moving them forward.
• Diversity: We deeply appreciate the value created by the diversity that increasingly characterizes Calgary. We recognize and celebrate the importance of the arts in the lives of all Calgarians, in all parts of the city.

Funding for Calgary Arts Development's granting programs is provided by the City of Calgary, which currently allocates approximately $3.75 million annually in funding for the arts. If you have received funds from Calgary Arts Development, please ensure you recognize both Calgary Arts Development and the City of Calgary in all of your promotional materials. Whenever possible, logos for the City of Calgary and Calgary Arts Development should be placed side by side to recognize that funding has been provided by the City of Calgary through Calgary Arts Development.

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.
