Grants and Community Initiatives Program:
Arts & Culture

Purpose:

The purpose of the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee is to make grants to support and encourage the growth and sustained presence of arts and cultural activities among diverse cultural communities throughout British Columbia.

Goals:

  • support the development of new artistic works and exhibitions
  • support small-scale capital requests from smaller organizations with limited fundraising capacity, located in communities outside of urban centres. Requests will be limited to furnishings, equipment or renovations that increase service delivery or community access
  • encourage the highest possible standards of artistic excellence
  • improve access to education, training and mentorship programs in the arts
  • support initiatives related to audience development, including those that reach out to diverse cultural communities, age groups, sectors and new geographic communities
  • encourage collaboration among arts groups that will foster the cross-fertilization of artistic or cultural ideas.
