Association for Native Development in the Performing and Visual Arts (ANDPVA)
Established in 1972, ANDPVA is Canada’s oldest Indigenous arts service organization. Through collaborative partnerships and mutual education, the organization works to increase civic engagement, trust and understanding of Indigenous peoples, as well as the trust Indigenous people have for non-Indigenous communities.
87% of Indigenous adults in Toronto fall below the before-tax low-income threshold.

ANDPVA’s art performances and workshops provide income for artists and the houseless, and its Red Revue and Writers Room performances, workshops and feasts build community.
