From 2009-11, ArtBridges/ToileDesArts’ staff and volunteers took 3 virtual and telephone road trips, one in English, one in French and one focusing on FNMI (First Nations, Metis and Inuit) community-engaged arts initiatives across Canada.

Using an extensive research list we phoned numerous sources to help us identify community-engaged arts and arts for social change initiatives—projects, programs, organizations and resources—that work in under-resourced and/or underserved communities across Canada.

We wrote summaries of our findings on each province/territory. These summaries are by no means academic studies, nor official reports. They shed light on our findings based on the many conversations we’ve had with people in the practice.
