We all turn to art for support. Whether its our comfort tv show when we're feeling blue, or an exciting song when we're celebrating, a performance to get lost in or a beautiful piece to display in our spaces, art colours our world and our lives.

The Alberta NDP has always, and will always support Alberta artists.

We will invest in arts and culture as part of our broader plans to revitalize downtown cores and rural communities.

This will include:

• 50% increase in funding for Alberta Foundation for the Arts
• A standalone Arts Capital Grants Program to support a range of projects in urban centres
• Creating a Live Entertainment Advisory Council to showcase and amplify Alberta talent, and coordinate and attract world-class shows and events to Alberta.

Our province is a vibrant and dynamic place to live thanks to the amazing performers and creators who call Alberta home.

We are committed to increasing arts funding as part of our plan to build a better future.

This is critical for the fabric of our province, and to our economy.

With Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP, you can count on a colourful, beautiful future for all Albertans.
