TRC Calls to Action: #83

Reconciliation
Commemoration

83. We call upon the Canada Council for the Arts to establish, as a funding priority, a strategy for Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists to undertake collaborative projects and produce works that contribute to the reconciliation process.

As someone who works in the arts, I can attest to the fact that supporting Indigenous art is now a key priority for the Canada Council for the Arts. There are many grants and other programs in place to nurture Indigenous artists and arts organizations, and which encourage the development of Indigenous initiatives and connections within non-Indigenous arts organizations.
