Join us for Season 2 of Urban Art Biz and our fifth episode The Art Of Grants
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023 from 12pm – 1:30pm CST
With our very special guests:
J.L Watson – Program Officer – Creating, Knowing and Sharing: The Arts and Cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, Arts Granting Program Division – Canada Council for the Arts
Julie Dobbin – Associate Program Officer – Creating, Knowing and Sharing: The Arts and Cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, Arts Granting Program Division – Canada Council for the Arts
Tracey Longbottom – Program Consultant – Manitoba Arts Council Indigenous 360 Program
Dominic Lloyd – Programs & Arts Development Manager – Winnipeg Arts Council
Host/Moderator – Jessica Dumas
Join us in conversation with representatives from The Canada Council For the Arts – Creating, Knowing, Sharing, The Arts and Cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples program, The Manitoba Arts Council Indigenous 360 program, and The Winnipeg Arts Council Granting programs to talk about grants for individual artists.
We are offering artists an opportunity to hear from representatives of the three main Artist funding bodies. We will cover the basics of:
Who can apply for a grant
How to apply for a grant
What grants are available and upcoming
Why you will want to contact the program consultants/officers before you apply.
For those who are already in the process of applying for a grant, this workshop may help you provide the finishing touches on your applications. For those artists new or hesitant to the process, the workshop will give you some understanding of the funding process, on a municipal, provincial, and national level.
Are you eligible for funding, how to determine if you are an emerging or established artist, what are the pieces of a grant application, can you apply with the same project to all three funding bodies and how do you do that? What type of expenses can go in your grant budget?
Overall, we hope to enlighten and encourage Artists to apply for grants, and lessen the intimidation factor, by providing insight, information, and encouragement to creating a successful grant application.
The workshop is offered Free. Please register online by 10:30 am CST Feb 22, 2023, the morning of the event, and a zoom link will be sent to your email address by 11AM !
