Deadline: 21-Aug-20
Ontario Presents is pleased to announce that, with funds from the Department of Canadian Heritage, they are now offering a limited number of small grants to presenters who wish to partner with a local artist to craft a project that will engage the community with the performing arts.
These projects will look different in every community, but they are looking for proposals that:
- Engage a professional artist who primarily resides in your community
- Use a community-engaged approach to connect community members with the performing arts
- Take place between August 2020 and March 2021.
- Projects may take place anytime before March 2021. Artists should be involved in crafting the projects from the earliest stages.
Funding Information
A limited number of $5000 grants are available
Participating presenters will be invited to take part in a community of practice on the topic of community engagement, which will provide opportunities to learn from specialists and fellow participants.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications are open to any not-for-profit, small-hall, community presenters (volunteer or professional) in Ontario.
- Applicants do not need to be members of Ontario Presents, nor must they be venue-based. If they receive more applications than grants available, applications will be assessed based on how closely the intent of the proposed project aligns with the desired outcome of connecting your community with the performing arts.
- Geographic distribution across the province will also be considered.
