The Arts Council Windsor & Region (ACWR) is a non-profit organization that serves all disciplines of individual artists, arts organizations and non-arts partners in promoting, developing and realizing creative activity. Our energies are focused on providing our community with valuable services like Artspeak Gallery, Art.Work workshops, Individual grant consultation, an in-office resource library, and our website which hosts resources, a community arts calendar, and profiles of our members and their work. 

We host information sessions and lead local working groups for national and regional initiatives like Ontario Arts Council, CARFAC artists union, and Culture Days. We are also home to Vanguard, the ACWR’s Youth Arts Collective. ACWR serves as a hub, making connections and providing support to help build the capacity of our creative community in Windsor and Essex County.
