The program aims to develop audiences for the arts in Ontario regions outside of Toronto. It supports Ontario-based presenters (ad hoc groups, collectives and organizations) that are led by volunteer community members who are not professional artists or arts professionals. It also supports municipalities, colleges and universities. Presentations may include performances, exhibitions, screenings and readings by professional artists and associated audience engagement activities.

The program has two categories:

• Volunteer-led organizations, ad hoc groups and collectives
• Municipalities, colleges and universities
