comes from a mix of public arts grants and Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) entry fees. However, like many arts organizations, we’ve keenly felt the ongoing government cuts to public funding and have not received the operating and core grants that have historically sustained us (we have received no funding for the past two seasons, a first for LL). Plus, the Covid crisis continues to impact audience attendance, which reduces our PWYC door fees.Our usual funding

Land Acknowledgement: LitLive's home is the City of Hamilton, which is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We further acknowledge that this land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, the City of Hamilton is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize that we must do more to learn about the rich history of this land so that we can better understand our roles as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.
