Professional Development Program Now Open! Attend an Information Session
We’re pleased to announce the return of the Professional Development program. After a temporary suspension of the program, the BC Arts Council is again providing opportunities for arts and culture practitioners to apply for professional development activities within the constraints of all relevant public health advisories and protocols.
The Professional Development grant assists professional artists, cultural practitioners, production and technical personnel, and arts administrators with specific learning opportunities and/or activities to advance their practice or career. Awards are not intended to support the creation of new work(s) or full-time studies.
- Maximum request amount is $7,500. The request amount may be up to 100% of the total project budget.
- Deadline to apply: Monday, February 7, 2022, 11:59 pm PST
