Capacity Building
Fund
Cultural activities are at the heart of communities – they make communities more attractive places to live, they help bring a community to life, they define a community’s unique characteristics, they attract tourists and they help communities compete economically around the world. In the words of Margaret Atwood: “The arts – as we have come to term them – are not a frill. They are at the heart of the matter… A society without the arts would have broken its mirror and cut out its heart. It would no longer be what we now recognize as human.”
