Creative BC recognizes that historical barriers for access have existed within the Arts and Culture sector for several under-represented identity groups. Further, applications and successful recipients from artists based outside the Greater Vancouver have been historically low.
In order to redress these systemic barriers and encourage a greater success rate in applications, Creative BC will provide potential lead applicants from systemically excluded groups or regions the opportunity to receive direct feedback on their application materials, through 1-on-1 grant coaching sessions.
One-hour Interactive Fund grant coaching sessions will be available for new lead applicants from systemically excluded groups and regions of B.C. outside of Greater Vancouver (excluding Bowen Island) or Greater Victoria, as well as previously unsuccessful applicants applying with the same project. This service is free of charge.
This includes creators from the following groups:
- Indigenous peoples
- The Black community
- People of Colour
- Deaf and Disability community, and those who live with chronic illness or are neurodiverse •
- Women
- LGBTQ2IA+
This also includes creators from underrepresented regions of B.C.:
- Cariboo
- Kootenay
- Nechako
- North Coast
- Northeast
- Thompson / Okanagan
- Vancouver Island and Coast (excluding the Capital Regional District / City of Victoria)
