About the foundation
The City of Burlington's arts and culture programming is embedded within its municipal framework, reflecting a civic commitment to fostering local creative expression and community engagement. Unlike private foundations or artist-run centres, its mandate is shaped by public policy and the needs of residents, with a focus on accessible, inclusive cultural experiences. The festival and event application stream serves as a gateway for artists and organizations to partner with the city in animating public spaces, often prioritizing projects that demonstrate community benefit and alignment with municipal cultural plans.
