At artsPlace we truly believe that experiencing the arts is a right regardless of financial means. In order to support community members who would otherwise not be able to afford our programming, we have our Discover Art Fund. We work with the Town of Canmore and Banff and their affordable services programs to identify eligible residents and offer them subsidies of 50-65%. However, with no government support for this subsidy, as a charitable organization, we rely on support from community businesses, organizations and members to support the fund and ensure everyone has access to artsPlace’ programs.
