Outreach programs

In September 2001 the National Arts Centre's Strategic Plan "Restoring The Vision" was released across Canada. One of the four goals was the following:

"Since the National Arts Centre belongs to all Canadians, we will reach out to Canadians in every part of the country. In addition to more co-productions with other arts organizations, we will also devote more resources and energy to bring NAC performances to audiences outside Ottawa. The National Arts Centre Orchestra and English and French language theatres will return to annual touring. And we're working to experiment with a number of new media and broadband applications to attract young Canadians to what we do."

A growing number of Partnerships and outreach programs are being developed to increase the involvement of all Canadians including in our goal to restore the National Arts Centre as Canada's pre-eminent showcase for the performing arts.
