The Calgary Arts Emergency Resiliency Fund was created in order to ensure that Calgarians continue to enjoy the benefits of, and have access to, a strong local arts community. Funds invested through this program provided one-time support to arts organizations who have been negatively impacted by the economic downturn and global events.
