Moves To Raise Arts Spending
(August 16, 2010) Toronto’s sparkling but woefully
underfunded
arts organizations
got a boost at City Hall on Monday. After a series of
presentations by many of the city’s top performers and major
cultural organizations, council’s executive committee voted to

Bringing
Art Into Kenya’s Schools
(August 17, 2010) A group of enterprising young
Canadians is Kenya-bound
in January, trying to help bring back what they fear the country
has sorely lacked in recent years: arts education. Their
project is the first for a new volunteer-driven initiative
called
Artbound,
which was publicly launched Tuesday. It’s committed to putting
arts back into global curricula by building dedicated arts
schools that piggyback on the existing educational networks
being built by Canadian charity Free The Children, run by Craig
and Marc Kielburger. |
