In 2019, the Nordic Council of Ministers for Culture chose Canada and one of its top contemporary arts institutes, Harbourfront Centre in Toronto as the lead of the Nordic cultural initiative Nordic Bridges. Built on shared values of creativity, innovation, inclusivity, resilience and sustainability, Nordic Bridges served to connect the Nordic Region and Canada by means of collaboration between Nordic and Canadian artists, innovators and thinkers. It presented multidisciplinary contemporary art, culture and ideas across Canada over the course of 2022. The evaluation concluded that Nordic Bridges had been a successful programme and a prime example on how Nordic funding can create significant impact and benefits for participating stakeholders and artists. This publication presents selected results, key learnings and features from the year-long programme.
