Description
Access our Grant Program Calendar on the Funding page for upcoming BC Arts Council programs.
Project Assistance: Community Arts Festivals supports the artistic development of local, community-based arts festivals by providing funding for fees paid to B.C. or Canadian professional artists and technicians and Elders or Knowledge Keepers engaged in the festival.
The festival must be an existing festival, with an arts focus, presented by local Indigenous or community arts organizations, and may feature a combination of local and touring artists.
A festival is an event that includes related arts and cultural activities and programming presented within a concentrated place and time and must be longer than one day in duration. Grants received through this program are provided to support the artistic and cultural programming fees of community-based arts festivals.
