Mission Statement
Canadian Cultural Society of the Deaf(CCSD) since 1970, a registered non-profit organization incorporated in 1973, recognized as one of Canada’s national arts service organizations, has received numerous awards for its Deaf arts productions. The DEAF CULTURE CENTRE (a project of CCSD) rooted in the Deaf community, is open to the public and located in Toronto’s Distillery Historic District. The CENTRE mentors Deaf and hearing students, interns and artists. It promotes visual artists through professional art exhibitions in its gallery, and performing artists through professional sign language theatre and film productions. In May 2019, the DEAF CULTURE CENTRE partnered with Palgong Tea Company to enhance and extend the experience of Deaf visual and signing arts to visitors by providing an interactive social location to network with others interested in learning and promoting the Deaf arts. Palgong is known for its milk tea infused with rich flavors from fruit teas, smoothies and coffees. CCSD has increased Deaf arts standards, provided forums to feature Deaf arts and built significant partnerships such as affiliated provincial cultural deaf arts organizations across Canada and community engagement. We are now at a tipping point in building capacity in the Deaf Arts community through these arts partnerships and increased exponential exposure with 60,000 visitors annually. We are becoming an integral, vital and authentic part of the Canadian arts eco-system. The DEAF CULTURE CENTRE features work by Deaf artists in a cultural space that allows all to understand Deaf culture, sign language and the Deaf arts scene. CCSD relies on donations, sponsorships, earned revenues and grants.
