The goal of the program is to contribute to the skills and knowledge required to advance artists’ careers and develop artistic practices in Calgary (known as Mohkinsstsis in Blackfoot). This program cannot fund activities primarily focused on the research, creation or production of artistic work. Please refer to the Project Grant Program for Individuals and Collectives if you are seeking funding for the research, creation or production of work. Applicants may apply for up to $5,000. If applications from artist collectives include expenses related to individual members’ participation, such as travel or course fees, the requested amount may exceed $5,000 on approval from Calgary Arts Development staff. Total funding available for this program is $450,000 ($225,000 per intake). 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.
