  • It’s an opportunity to reach new demographics.
  • The population that enjoys the arts knows no bounds.
  • The Waterloo Region is an inviting and popular arts and culture center.
  • There is an undeniably strong correlation between arts and business vitality.
  • Investment in arts profits everyone, as it makes our cities more inviting, and our streets livelier, more animated, and safer.
  • The more people engage on the streets, the greater the business activity.
