A look back at 2024

December 12, 2024


Dear colleagues,
 

I want to take a moment to thank you for your engagement with the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) this year. Before this year comes to a close, I want to share OAC’s 2024 Year in Review report. It’s thanks to your collaboration that we are able to build a vibrant, sustainable future for the arts sector and support the boundless potential of the artistic community.

Cover page of the Ontario Arts Council’s 2024 Year in Review report. In the cover photo, six performers dressed in mostly white with black bottoms march around on grass in a park. One person walks on stilts followed by a second person with a sunshaped prop hoisted overhead. Three others play instruments – the accordion, a bass drum and a saxophone. A sixth person walks behind waving a large white flag with a red heart. The logos for the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario appear below the photo.

What’s inside?

  • Highlights from 2024. We had a busy year with the release of OAC’s 60th anniversary video, the launch of Arts Across Ontario, new research, and more.
  • Grant recipient perspective. See what grant recipients were able to achieve this year thanks to OAC funding, in words and photos.
  • By the numbers. Find out how many grant applications were submitted, how many communities we reached through funding, how many people participate in OAC grant recipients’ activities, and more.
We can hardly believe that another year of creativity and community is drawing to a close. From all of us at OAC – have a wonderful holiday season and see you in 2025!

With warm wishes,
Michael Murray
CEO
