Summary
This report recommends that City Council approve funding allocations for eleven not-for-profit organizations that have applied for municipal support through the Major Cultural Organizations Program operated by Cultural Services, Economic Development and Culture. Major Cultural Organizations deliver unique artistic programming that strengthens the richness and diversity of Toronto's cultural sector. They contribute to Toronto's reputation as a leading cultural capital, drive cultural tourism, demonstrate leadership in community education and outreach, create volunteer opportunities, and they support other community arts and cultural organizations. These organizations have significant cultural, social, and economic impact; help Toronto's culture sector create jobs and wealth; attract visitors; and make Toronto an internationally recognized cultural destination.
The report recommends 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; Pride Toronto, 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 $7,394,960.00. The total program fund for these allocations is based on the 2014 City Operating Budget approved on January 29, 2014.
