about us
The Centre for Cultural Futures Canada is dedicated to transforming Canada’s cultural sector by fostering collaboration, sparking innovation, and advocating for essential systemic chage to meet the sector's 21st-century challenges. We believe culture drives social progress, unites communities, and shapes a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Bringing together artists, cultural leaders, and institutions nationwide, we promote the exchange of ideas and open doors to new opportunities. Guided by principles of equity, sustainability, and innovation, we work to remove barriers that limit Canadians’ access, participation, and contribution to culture while enhancing connections to those who present, create, and preserve heritage.

We are encouraged by the support Canadian cultural leaders have voiced since we began engaging in advocacy, research and strategy development that will equip cultural organizations to drive positive social, cultural and economic progress in their communities.
We invite you to demonstrate your support by becoming a member of The Centre for Cultural Futures Canada today. We are a growing community of changemakers dedicated to advancing meaningful conversations on how culture is led and experienced across our country. Together, we are reimagining how cultural organizations engage with their communities, stakeholders, and audiences, and creating new pathways for inclusive and impactful participation for those working in the field.
