Hubs are local partners that act as community leads for the festival. From regional galleries to your local culture department, these expert organizations are a friendly face during our festival. Be sure to visit the hub partners for their own cutting-edge arts programming, get connected to the local community, and start your festival adventure.

The Creatives in Residence program is a key component of the Ontario Culture Days Festival, showcasing the vibrancy of the Ontario arts and culture community. Residents work in communities across Ontario to explore themes of access (or lack thereof) to resources such as food, community space, local history and technology.

The Spotlight Recognition Program celebrates exemplary programming taking place each year as part of the Ontario Culture Days Festival. This year’s Spotlight categories celebrate the creativity and ingenuity of program organizers who have created engaging events for Ontario audiences.
