About Us

Established in 1995, the London Arts Council is a nonprofit, arms-length, umbrella arts services organization that works with public, private, and community partners to build and sustain Londoners’ awareness of, involvement in, and support for all artistic disciplines across the city.

​

Through a Purchase of Service Agreement with the City of London, the London Arts Council has administered the City of London's Public Art Program and Community Arts Investment Program for London's artistic community since 2001. The London Arts Council also provides professional consultation services to the City’s Culture Services Division on an ongoing basis regarding national and international arts and culture-related policies, programs, projects, practices, and trends, including the latest ideas, publications, and reports shared by UNESCO.

​

The London Arts Council's programs in community building, cultivating allyship, education, health and well-being, and public activation provide paid opportunities for professional artists of all backgrounds and experiences to create and deliver artworks in London and surrounding First Nations (the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, the Oneida Nation of the Thames, and the Munsee-Delaware Nation), as well as supporting London's arts organizations.
