Our Programs and Services

We fuel artistic growth by creating opportunities and connections for artists and residents in Mississauga and beyond.

Our programs empower creatives by enhancing their artistic and entrepreneurial skills, expanding their audiences, and fostering connections across disciplines. We support all major arts disciplines through professional development, live performances, exhibitions, and contests – helping the local arts sector thrive.

Our focus:

  • • Supporting professional creatives across all disciplines
  • • Building engagement and participation in the arts
  • • Providing career development and business skills training
  • • Enhancing artists’ digital presence and online growth
  • • Offering accessible in-person and virtual events
