Deadline: 10-Dec-22
The SK Arts is inviting applications for the Artists in Communities Development Program that provides small amounts of funding to organizations and/or professional artists or arts professionals to build relationships with potential partners, develop projects or residencies, and/or research community needs.
Artist in Communities provides opportunities that enable community-based organizations and professional artists/arts professionals to offer arts-related activities that are linked to local communities through partnerships. These partnerships are supported in forms of projects and residencies. Projects and residencies that come out of strong partnerships between the community organization and artist, that are developed, and that have well-planned objectives have higher success rates.
