Up-to-date learning and information to help your projects move forward
Funds for facilities improvements and capital projects are scarce and often difficult to access. ArtsBuild is committed to providing up-to-date learning and information resources around traditional and innovative ways to fund and finance projects to improve existing facilities and build new ones.

ArtsBuild Ontario has been working hard to better understand how Canada Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF) money can be utilized and accessed by our small to mid-sized organizations. There have been some changes to the Cultural Spaces fund this year, including significant increases to the budget – so now is the time to apply!
To better understand these changes to the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, ArtsBuild Ontario hosted a webinar with Valerie Hopper, Manager of the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund Ontario Region and arts organizations registered on Bricks & Mortar. Topics covered included the changes to the CCSF, eligibility, the applications process and more.
Now we want to share this information with you! Click here to access a recording of our webinar with Valerie from Canada Cultural Spaces, and/or here to view the transcript of the webinar and Q&A period.
