New Programs Launched to Serve Toronto\u2019s Newcomers and Refugees<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Toronto Arts Council (TAC)<\/strong> is pleased to announce the creation of two new funding programs that will increase arts access opportunities for Toronto\u2019s newcomers and refugees.<\/p>\n

Following consultation sessions with members of Toronto\u2019s arts and settlement sectors, including newcomer and refugee artists, TAC has developed these programs to support the city\u2019s newest residents.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Newcomer and Refugee Arts Engagement<\/strong>\u00a0program provides targeted support to organizations and collectives working with newcomers and refugees through the arts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Newcomer and Refugee Artist Mentorship<\/strong>\u00a0program provides funding for individual newcomer and refugee professional artists to work with a mentor in their chosen arts discipline. TAC is pleased to be partnering with Neighbourhood Arts Network on this component. Neighbourhood Arts Network will be available to assist applicants in finding a mentor and\/or to provide support for translation services.<\/p>\n

\u201cToronto\u2019s arts and culture community is deeply enriched by the contributions of newcomer artists,\u201d says Claire Hopkinson, Toronto Arts Council\u2019s Director and CEO. \u201cThese programs recognize both the cultural contributions of our newcomers and barriers they face.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deadline for applications is May 1, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

TAC will be hosting information sessions in January and February, 2017. The dates of the information sessions will be posted to TAC\u2019s website shortly.
