Community-Run Public Art Microgrant Program │ Calgary Arts Development

September 18, 2024

Value

Communities may apply for up to $15,000 to support eligible projects. Funding is available for up to 30 projects.

Description

Recognizing that public art opportunities can come from grassroots ideas that are initiated and led by communities, Calgary Arts Development invites proposals for community-run public art projects.

This opportunity is open to community-run organizations, including informal groups that define themselves in terms of distinct communities, neighbourhood associations and non-profit organizations or charitable organizations.

Community-run organizations in Calgary (known as Mohkinsstsis in Blackfoot), can apply for up to $15,000 in funding to hire local artists at any level of experience and create public art in their neighbourhoods.

Eligible Applicants

This opportunity is open to community-run organizations, including informal groups that define themselves in terms of distinct communities, neighbourhood associations and non-profit organizations or charitable organizations in Calgary.

Activities must take place in Calgary, and applicants must either be Calgary-based, or be able to demonstrate that they regularly make significant contributions to the arts that are accessible to Calgarians. If the applicant is not based in the city, Calgary Arts Development staff will determine eligibility through the applicant’s commitment to the arts and the scope of activities within Calgary’s arts community.

Eligible Expenses

Funds from this program may go towards almost any expenses that are directly related to your project and its goals, for example:

  • Accessibility expenses
  • Artist fees
  • Documentation
  • Engagement expenses
  • Fabrication expenses
  • Honorariums
  • Materials
  • Marketing, publicity or outreach
  • Meeting expenses
  • Purchase of equipment, including hardware (up to a maximum of $1,000 total)
  • Professional fees (e.g., fees paid to individuals offering professional services such as web design, publicity or marketing, financial, accounting or legal services, etc.)
  • Rental of equipment or space
  • Technical fees (e.g., web service fees, licensing fees etc.)

Deadline Date

The deadline to apply for this microgrant has been extended from September 4, 2024 to September 18, 2024 at 4:30pm MT.
