History
The Arts Support Division was established in 1975 when the Cultural Affairs Division of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Recreation and divided into three new Divisions: the Arts Support Division, the Heritage Conservation Division, and the Multicultural Development and Public Libraries Division.
The Arts Support Division consisted of two branches: the Cultural Industries Branch and the Community Arts Development Branch. By January 1976 a Capital Support Unit was added.
A reorganization in mid-1976 resulted in the Provincial Library Services Branch being transferred to the Division, and the Division became the Arts Division.
