ArtReach Toronto:  a new youth arts funding initiative
ArtReach Toronto will embrace a broad definition of culture and will seek to support emerging art forms as well as populist art forms that are particularly engaging for youth, including dance, drama, music, carnival and circus, film and video, TV and radio, new media, creative writing, visual arts, crafts, hip hop, design, multi-media and urban arts.

Eligible applicants for ArtReach Toronto funding will include not-for-profit youth-led organizations or collectives, not-for-profit organizations or collectives able to demonstrate a high degree of youth engagement, and individual artists or group of artists. Priority will be given to projects that respond to the needs of youth who have experienced exclusion, primarily but not limited to those living in one of the 13 priority neighbourhoods as identified by the United Way and the City of Toronto, and to projects from youth-led organizations.

The next deadline for applications is March 31, 2007.
