Your Benefits
The Patrons of the Creative Arts Community are visionaries who believe in investing in the Niagara community through arts and culture. We know that arts and culture are important social and economic drivers for sustainability and quality of life. We are the leaders of the business community who come together in an alliance and who pledge a three year financial commitment to the St. Catharines & Area Arts Council in furtherance of this goal.
The Founding Patrons of the Creative Arts Community are those leaders who step forward first, who boldly support this initiative to create a partnership between business and the arts and culture community, a partnership that benefits both.
