Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council approve funding allocations for ten not-for-profit organizations that have applied for municipal support through the Major Cultural Organizations Program operated by Cultural Services, Economic Development and Culture.
The report outlines ten allocations to: the Art Gallery of Ontario; Canada's National Ballet School; Canadian Opera Company; Festival Management Committee (Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto); George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art; National Ballet of Canada; Toronto Artscape Inc.; Toronto Festival of Arts, Culture and Creativity (Luminato); Toronto International Film Festival Group; and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for a total of $6,755,000.00.
An allocation to Pride Toronto will be recommended directly to Council following the decision of the Executive Committee on item EX31.2 Report on Amendments to City of Toronto Anti-Discrimination Policies.
The total program fund for these allocations is based on the 2013 approved budget, including $600,000 to be transferred from the Third Party Sign Tax reserve fund in July 2013. It also includes the annual grant allocation for Toronto Artscape Incorporated which has been reviewed with the Major Cultural Organizations since 1998. Artscape meets all the criteria of the program and this report seeks authority to formalize the inclusion of Artscape within the Major Cultural Organizations program.
Major Cultural Organizations deliver unique artistic programming that strengthens the richness and diversity of Toronto's cultural sector. They demonstrate leadership in community education and outreach, volunteer opportunities, audience development, and they support other community arts and cultural organizations. They have significant economic and cultural impact, and lead Toronto's culture sector in creating jobs and wealth, attracting visitors, contributing to the City's economic prosperity, and making Toronto an internationally recognized cultural destination.
