The Minister’s Advisory Council for Arts and Culture was created to advise the Minister of Culture on how best to support arts, culture and heritage in the province foster open discussion with the culture community.

The Council has 14 members who represent the arts and culture community and reflect a range of backgrounds and disciplines.

The council consulted with thousands of individual artists and hundreds of organizations on ways to improve conditions for artists. You can read the results of their research in the Council’s Report on the Socio-economic Status of the Artist in Ontario in the 21st Century.
