The strategic plan, launched in October 2007, and the subsequent Action Plan released in 2008, outlined five overall directions for the Council over the next three to five years: reinforcing the Council's commitment to individual artists, working alone or collaboratively, as the core
of artistic practice in Canada; broadening the Council's commitment to arts organizations to strengthen their capacity to underpin
artistic practices in all parts
of the country; enhancing the Council's leadership role in promoting equity in fulfilling Canada's
artistic aspirations; making partnerships with other organizations, including other funders, a key
element in the Council's
approach to advancing its mandate; and enhancing the Council's capacity to support the arts and implement change by strengthening its structure, staffing and services.
120 years after Moore's birth, the Henry Moore Foundation presents Out
of the Block: Henry Moore Carvings, an exhibition exploring Moore's changing
approach to this key
element of his
artistic practice.
