The Squamish Arts Arts & Culture Grant presents a vibrant opportunity for individuals, groups, and organizations in Squamish to bring arts- and culture-focused projects to life.
The grant supports creative initiatives that contribute to community enhancement, including efforts around inter-generational programming, neighbourhood connectivity, equity and diversity, wellness, youth-led activity and reconciliation.
Applicants may include artists, collectives, registered societies, and non-profits whose work aligns with the goals of the council. Collaboration and partnership are encouraged, and projects should demonstrate how they will engage the community, create connections, and build capacity for arts & culture in Squamish.
Funding levels are flexible: there is no strict maximum award but past project awards typically range around $1,500 to $7,000, though higher or lower amounts may be considered depending on impact and alignment with funding objectives. Applicants are advised to consider multiple funding sources since the council may not fund the full request.
Eligible projects might include performances, exhibitions, workshops, public art, youth-led creative efforts, or collaborative cultural initiatives rooted in the Squamish region. Projects focused on pure operational costs, capital purchases disconnected from cultural programming, or outside the designated community boundary may not qualify.
This grant offers a meaningful route for creative practitioners and community organizations in Squamish to access funding, build networks, and enhance local cultural infrastructure. For those seeking to turn a concept into a public-facing, inclusive arts project, this initiative provides a strong platform to move artistic ideas into action.
