Paving the way for a new model of creation in Canada’s performing arts.

Artists and arts organizations across the country have told us that too often, they lack the extensive resources and time that are required to develop compelling work – work that is ambitious, innovative and fully realized.
We call this the creation gap.
The National Arts Centre is determined to fill that gap.
