We are excited to share what's on this month including a new opportunity for visual artists, "Artists in Practice Workshop Series," and a new resource for our arts community, "London Arts & Community: Funding Programs and Support Available in London.” And in case you missed our social post introducing the team through photos of our younger selves (which are pretty cute), you can find those posts on Facebook and Instagram.

Thank you to our operational partners for your ongoing support. Your funding and partnership provide crucial support for LAC in maintaining and growing capacity for ongoing development, implementation, and delivery of professional artistic programs and services for our community and the local arts sector.

We extend our gratitude to our strategic programming partners whose generosity helps us support the local arts community and artists with meaningful programs and opportunities.
