Small Arts Grants
Program Overview
Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is a hotbed of artistic activity. But many artists in this neighbourhood lack the financial means to take their work to the next level. Vancouver Foundation created the Small Arts Grants Program, in partnership with the Carnegie Community Centre, to give DTES artists the opportunity to advance their careers by expanding their portfolios and showcasing their work.
The DTES Small Arts Grants program is intended for artists who demonstrate a history of original art practice, and show a vital engagement with the DTES community. With small grants of $500 - $1,000, the pilot program is an opportunity for DTES artists to take their career to the next level.
