Need help applying? Calgary Arts Development is committed to open, fair and transparent processes. There are two policies available for anyone who may need support to apply to this program: the Accommodation & Accessibility Policy and the Application Assistance Policy. We will work one-on-one with applicants who experience barriers to access to develop accommodations that suit their unique abilities and situations and continually seek to learn and address inequities in our programs and processes.

Starting March 9, 2023 the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be enabled when you try to log into the Smart Simple platform. This extra layer of protection will be added to the standard login credentials. You will receive a single-use verification code that is a uniquely generated number sent to you via the email you registered your account with. Each time you log into the system, you will be prompted to enter the single-use code.
