Community-based arts and cultural organizations in British Columbia can apply now for project assistance funding from the BC Arts Council to help produce local arts festivals.
Awards under this program are intended to assist with the fees paid to professional artists and technicians engaged for the event.
Eligible projects may include presentations of original work, existing repertoire or exhibitions, or exploration of diverse work. Festivals may feature a combination of local and touring artists.
Awards will provide up to a maximum of $7,500. Priority will be given to festivals that engage B.C. and Canadian artists.
The application deadline is Jan. 30, and because this date falls on a weekend, applications must be postmarked no later than Feb. 1.
