To champion the arts and serve as a unified voice for collaborative advocacy for the sector’s advancement in Ontario, AACO connects arts service organizations through the exchange of resources and best practices.
Arts Across Ontario
Big news for Ontario’s arts and culture sector!
The AACO is proud to have contributed to Arts Across Ontario—a new report from Nordicity and supported by Ontario Arts Council that introduces a powerful model to measure the arts’ economic impact in communities across Ontario.
For the first time ever, we can truly measure the local economic impact of arts and culture – thanks to the Ontario Arts Council and their newly unveiled Regional Economic Model, developed in partnership with Nordicity.

A strong and supported presence for the arts across Ontario
