THE ASSOCIATION FOR NATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS

The Association for Native Development in the Performing and Visual Arts advances Indigenous artists working in dance, theatre, music, visual art, and multimedia across Toronto and beyond. The organization provides funding, professional development, mentorship, and exhibition opportunities to Indigenous creators at all career stages. By supporting artistic practice rooted in Indigenous cultures and perspectives, the association strengthens the visibility and sustainability of Native artists in Canada's cultural landscape. The organization also works to build audiences and foster deeper engagement with Indigenous artistic traditions through performances, exhibitions, and community events that celebrate the diversity of Indigenous creative expression.
