(Recommendation No. 103)
The Transition Team recommends that Council establish a new city-wide Arts Council as an arm's length funding and peer review body to administer grants to arts and cultural organizations, according to policy guidelines established by Council.
The Arts Council should be based on the existing Toronto Arts Council and should report to Council through the Community and Neigh. Services Committee.
The Transition Team suggests that the existing Toronto Arts Council, the City's Culture Office and the arts community work collaboratively to develop appropriate policy, operating guidelines and budget requirements for a new city-wide Arts Council for Council approval (page 206).
Until new arrangements are in place, the current City of Toronto Arts Council should continue to allocate grants within its existing area of jurisdiction under the terms of its current legal agreement; and the Etobicoke Municipal Arts Commission should make recommendations to the Community and Neighbourhood Services Committee on the allocation of grants within its existing area of jurisdiction, working with the City's Culture Office. The City's Culture Office should recommend the allocation of grants to organizations in all other parts of the new City and to those organizations currently funded by Metro Toronto rather than by the |
