Advocacy

Participation in the arts promotes the social and economic well being of our community. The arts contribute to the development of our cultural industries and our heritage by leaving a legacy of our culture.

As part of its mandate to strengthen the arts community and enrich the quality of life in the City of Ottawa, AOE Arts Council works with municipal, provincial and federal government agencies to continue to develop awareness, interest and funding for the arts. Ultimately, commitment at the municipal level is what will most impact the advancement of arts, culture and heritage in our community.

AOE acts as a catalyst to make things happen, and will continue to reflect the values of our community and help to ensure that arts and culture thrive.
