Arts Connect - September 2008

New name, new look for OAC Newsletter

Download PDF of strategic plan

We bring you our first issue of Arts Connect in the same spirit as our new strategic plan, Connections and Creativity: A vision for the arts and the people of Ontario . We see this e-newsletter as a vehicle to share OAC news and stories that promote a broader understanding and appreciation of the arts. Our other e-bulletin, Newsflash, will be reserved for one-issue e-mail blasts.
