Make Art Happen
The Region of Waterloo Arts Fund is a not-for-profit corporation established in 2002 by the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It was created to operate at arm's length from the Region and to provide funding for the performing, visual and literary arts. It is managed by a 14 person board, representing a broad spectrum of involvment in the arts. It serves the three cities (Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo) and the four townships (Wilmot, Woolwich, North Dumfries and Wellesley) that make up the Region.
The overall intent of the Arts
Fund is to "make art happen" (i.e. stimulate arts activity) in the
Region. This includes projects to make art happen now (in the next 12
months) and projects that will enhance an organization or individual's
ability to make even more art happen in the future. The Arts Fund
typically directs its support to projects and does not generally fund
capital projects or provide operating funds.
