Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: October 1, 2025
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
This grant opportunity offers tailored support for artists working individually or in small collaborative teams within a specific metropolitan region. It is structured to foster artistic development through three distinct funding pathways aligned with different stages of creative work.
Applicants must be adult artists or artist groups with a demonstrated practice in any discipline, residing in the region throughout the project period. Eligibility does not extend to businesses or unaffiliated individuals outside the creative practice. Priority is given to applicants in good standing, with no outstanding reporting obligations.
Funding is divided into three scaled tiers. The first tier provides $5,000 to support early-stage creative exploration or research, offering subsistence and modest project costs. The second tier offers awards up to $10,000, aimed at workshops, residencies, mentorship activities, or other forms of professional growth. The top tier allows applicants to access up to $25,000 for more substantial, presentation-ready artistic projects that include production or public presentation components.
Applications are accepted at two points throughout the year, with clear submission deadlines set for each intake. Each applicant or collective may apply to only one funding stream per cycle and may receive a maximum of one award annually. Successful proposals are evaluated based on artistic merit, feasibility, and potential impact on the artist's practice.
This opportunity represents a valuable resource for artists seeking to advance their creative work within a supportive framework. Whether used to explore new ideas, refine professional skills, or bring a fully realized project to audiences, the grant enables focused, impactful engagement with artistic practice.
If you are located in Alberta and working in the area of Non-Profit Support Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
