Deadline: 18-Sep-20
The Rozsa Foundation is accepting applications for the Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPOC) Arts Leaders Residency Grants Program.
Within the arts in Calgary, there is a sector-wide need to create pathways for Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPOC) leaders in all disciplines to advance their networks, experience, skills, and knowledge.
The Foundation encourages interested applicants to seek organizations that can potentially meet your desired outcomes and encourage arts organizations to share this information with candidates who might be interested in a residency.
In specific response to addressing that need, and as part of the Rozsa Foundation’s long-term commitment to strengthening the arts sector, they are proud to offer a new Arts Leaders Residency Grant. This grant is to support mid-career IBPOC artists and arts administrators who aspire to leadership roles in the arts (Artistic Directors, Executive Directors, Curators, Managing Directors, etc.) to undertake a year-long residency with an existing arts organization.
This grant stream supports a flexible approach to high-impact, leadership-focused learning, with direct mentorship from the artistic and/or executive leadership of the host organization.
Funding Information
- The IBPOC Arts Leaders Residency Grant provides $20,000 to support apart-time position for one year.
Eligibility Criteria
The following requirements apply to all Rozsa Foundation granting streams:
- You must be a charity with a valid CRA charitable business number (9 digits, 2 letters, 4 digits).
- You must be an arts-focused organization (or be applying for support in engaging the arts to further your mission).
- The focus of investment is in Calgary and the surrounding area (including Rocky View County, MD Foothills, Banff, Canmore, Drumheller, and Rosebud) as well as to provincial organizations whose initiatives will directly benefit the Calgary arts community. Action Learning Projects are eligible regardless of where in Alberta the organization is based.
- Organizations located outside of these areas may still be eligible but should contact them prior to beginning the application.
