About London Arts Council

The London Arts Council is a community organization located on Dundas Street in the downtown area of London, Ontario. It serves the local population by working alongside public, private, and community partners to foster public awareness, involvement, and support for all artistic disciplines throughout the city. The organization offers various arts programs and services designed to enhance the creative vitality and quality of life in the region. These initiatives include education, health, and community programs that offer professional artists paid opportunities to produce and present their work. Additionally, the council provides support to local arts organizations and offers public art tours. These tours are available as animated group experiences led by professional artists, as well as free virtual or self-guided options for individuals to explore the city's public art and history via mobile devices or computers. The London Arts Council is dedicated to building relationships with Indigenous people and works in close cooperation with the Munsee-Delaware Nation, the Oneida Nation of the Thames, and the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. This commitment includes the curation of a virtual space intended to honor and share local Indigenous culture and history. The council approaches this work through the principles of Two-Eyed Seeing and the Two-Row Wampum.
