APPLICATION GUIDELINES 

 

The Arts Fund is has undergone some guideline and process changes to reflect our Imagining Equitable Futures work. Please see our detailed changes here in our revised Grant Application Guidelines. These changes will help us establish more equitable funding. 

 

Quick Overview

When you apply, you will be asked to identify either as an emerging or established artist; or as an emerging or established organization or collective

• Emerging Artists, organizations or collectives can apply for up to $10,000
• Established Artists, organizations or collectives can apply for up to $7,500

We support emerging artists, as well as established artists. We support artists who are experimenting, exploring new creations processes, crossing disciplines, or building on new work.

 

In keeping with best practices in the arts granting sector, Peer Reviewers will now assess all applications, and receive compensation for sharing their time and expertise. The Board, as part of its governance role, will oversee this process to ensure transparency, integrity, impartiality, and accountability.
