Ontario Presents
Ontario Presents is a province-wide network of performing arts touring and presenting organizations that work collaboratively to facilitate the distribution of live performing arts. The organization was incorporated in 1988 as a network of venues – at that time called Ontario Campus and Community Impresarios – and has since fostered the development of several touring and presenting networks with a focus on building presenters’ curatorial skills; booking and coordinating artist tours; and building effective working relationships among key sector players. We now see ourselves primarily as an arts service organization that centres and strengthens relationships between artists and presenters.
