Quick Note from Ankur Gupta, Director, Development

Dear prospective partner:

I’m excited to be a part of the NaAC team, where I see firsthand the impact of the NaAC’s programs on our community of 350+ Canadian artists living with disabilities. My job as the NaAC’s fundraiser is to try and connect you to some of the many opportunities where your gift can have a very noticeable impact. Like me, I hope that you will be able to see why the programs at the NaAC matter – more importantly, why the community of artists we support at the NaAC matter.

Despite our 48+ year history, our President and CEO often shared with us that we are, in many ways, a start-up. We’ve launched a new multidisciplinary, national mandate in 2020, opened a new venue in Toronto, and developed a new partnership with the Government of Canada through the Canada Arts Training Fund – all endeavours that will open a new world of opportunity for artists living with disabilities.

When was the last time we thought about providing such opportunity for the disability arts community? Or to think of its potential? The NaAC is at the forefront to change all of this – and to do it right, we need your help. Your investment.

Please call me any time at 403.253.3174 x 8 or email ankur.gupta@accessarts.ca if you have any questions or would like to learn more. I’m always open to grabbing a cup of coffee with you, showing our NaAC space, and sharing our wonderful story with you.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Ankur Gupta Director, Development
