The Projects, Series & Extended Programming Grants provide support for emerging or established arts organizations to produce or present one-time projects, a short series of events, or extended programming.
Project Grant assistance acknowledges that, in order for the arts to remain accessible to the region’s audiences and participants, they require an investment of public sector funds. Through an investment in the arts organizations and institutions, the CRD is contributing to the development of a healthy, diverse and vibrant community.
Project Grants provide support to arts organizations of regional significance whose primary mandate is public programming in the arts.
