Join us to do your part for the Arts!

CPAMO is proud to be part of 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 mental, physical, and social well-being of Canadians, for its importance as an economic generator for our communities, and also because it is how we reflect who we are, both to other people in Canada and to the world.

The Federal Government had promised to invest in Canada’s cultural institutions during the election campaign, but now is asking those same funders to look at a devastating 15% cuts to their budgets. There are over 850,000 cultural workers across Canada, and most of them live in financial precarity.

In difficult times, we need to ensure the arts are our leaders to show us the future we can make together in Canada.

Through the Canadian Coalition for the Arts, we urge you to join our letter campaign that takes only a few seconds to make the case for smart new investment in Arts and Culture in Canada this year. We don’t have time to wait. Lack of investment and cuts could have a generational impact on our ability to tell the stories of Canada.

We hope that moments like the one you are about to experience show the importance of humans gathering, being creative, and expressing ourselves in ways that reflect our essential humanity, all in a shared moment.
