Toronto Arts Foundation Advocacy

The Toronto Arts Foundation has launched a Friends Of The Arts petition to let City Councillors know that Torontonians value the arts.  From their announcement: "Toronto City Council is planning to make deep cuts to the city budget, and this puts arts and cultural funding at serious risk. Cutting the arts could be an economic and social catastrophe for Toronto: not only does the city achieve a huge return on a relatively small investment, but our vibrant arts scene is also a big part of what makes Toronto a great place to live, work and visit."  Read more
