Aug 25, 2022

The new BC Arts Council Accelerate Program will increase access and remove barriers to funding for equity-deserving arts and cultural organizations to benefit more people working in B.C.’s arts sector.

The two-year pilot program will offer multi-year, flexible funding of up to $30,000 to eligible equity-deserving arts and culture organizations and collectives for expenses related to artistic growth, development, production or exhibition as well as for costs related to organizational capacity building, expansion and operations.
