Projects Assistance: Media Arts Organizations

Description

Projects Assistance: Media Arts Organizations supports the development, enrichment, and creation of new or unique independent media arts programming and community engagement initiatives through activities including exhibitions, dissemination projects, new works, artists’ residencies, exploration of new artistic or curatorial practices, and audience development. Projects and works must be independent of commercial industries for film, video, and gaming.

BC Arts Council defines media arts as works in film, video, audio/sound art and new media. New media includes information and communications technologies used for artistic expression.

Awards are not available through this program to support projects that are solely or primarily focused on the creation of new works.
