Deadline: 9-Apr-21
The City of Kamloops is currently accepting applications from non-profit organizations for the 2021 Community Art Grants. These grants are available for projects that will promote development and awareness of the arts in the community.
The City recognizes that a fully rounded cultural community seeks the involvement of artists at all levels: amateur, emergent, and professional. The City feels it’s important that artists be active members of their community and that their creative activities function as a catalyst for greater community involvement.
