It’s the idea that by working together with artists and arts organizations in every part of the country, we can create a truly national stage for the performing arts in Canada. Through our collaboration with thousands of artists and arts organizations across Canada every year we are helping to create a national stage.
Here we share the story of some of Canada’s most creative artists, and demonstrate how their careers were nourished by the National Arts Centre.
