“The scope of Robin’s municipal experience as well as her years of living and working in rural Ontario, are welcome assets to any provincial board, but especially one with such a broad mandate,” said Rita Davies, OAC Chair.

The Ontario Arts Council has a 12-member government-appointed board of directors that is responsible for oversight of OAC’s granting process, including policies and decision-making. In 2019-20, the Ontario Arts Council invested $51.9 million in 197 communities across Ontario through 1,965 grants to individual artists and 1,152 grants to organizations.
