The Open Door granting program supports projects that demonstrate innovation, experimentation, risk-taking, partnership, the sharing of knowledge and leadership. Open Door provides catalyst funding for ideas with the potential to create transformative change in the arts sector.

Open Door supports the following types of projects:

  • Ambitious, timely projects with the potential to transform an artistic discipline, inspire a community of artists or elevate the arts sector as a whole.
  • Large-scale collaborative initiatives that create meaningful engagement for artists and audiences, with the potential to significantly benefit TAC equity priority groups.
  • Projects designed to address organizational transitions. These may include restructuring or succession planning for organizations and should have an emphasis on community access and engagement.
  • Projects that explore new opportunities for Toronto arts work. Projects taking place outside Toronto must explain the impact on the City’s artists and/or arts sector. 
  • Projects with the capacity to solve sector-wide challenges in new or innovative ways.
