BC Arts Council Project Assistance: Professional Arts Festivals Grant Open Now
The BC Arts Council, our arts and culture partner, offers programs that serve various creative industries supported by Creative BC.
The BCAC’s Project Assistance: Professional Arts Festivals grant program supports eligible organizations and arts or curatorial collectives in the development, enrichment, and creation of new or unique public programming through a specific project, component, or programming initiative within an existing festival.
This funding program defines a festival as an event that includes related arts and cultural activities and programming presented over a continuous period of more than one day. Grants received through this program are intended to encourage specific art forms or practices, increase the availability of arts in the community, and support the artistic programming of festivals.
There are two intakes for this program each year: one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
Applications are currently being accepted by the BC Arts Council for the Spring intake until May 23, 2024.
