Open to applications

Value

$7,500

Description

The program supports professional development for Ontario artists and arts administrators who want to gain new skills – or improve existing skills – to advance their practice at any stage of their career. It funds all contemporary and traditional art practices that OAC supports in other project programs.

The program has three categories:

  • Artists practicing professionally for 10 years or less
  • Artists practicing professionally for 11 years or more
  • Arts administrators

Eligible Applicants

  • professional artists who live in Ontario and who work in one or more of the following arts practices:
    • craft
    • dance
    • literature
    • media arts
    • multi and inter-arts
    • music
    • theatre
    • visual arts
  • arts administrators who live in Ontario

Eligible Expenses

  • artist / arts administrator fees – payment to yourself (up to $150 per day)
    • Fees should be calculated based on time or contribution to the project. The program does not fund living and personal expenses – do not include these as the rationale for the calculation of artist fees.
  • mentor and tutor fees
  • tuition and registration fees for master classes, workshops and training courses
  • materials and supplies
  • travel (out of town transportation, accommodation, meal allowance)
  • equipment rental
  • workspace rental
  • childcare and other dependant care fees enabling individuals to take part in the project (this does not include regular, ongoing expenses)
  • expenses related to making the project accessible for project participants (other than the applicant) who are Deaf or have a disability
    • Note: Applicants to this program who identify as Deaf or as having a disability may apply for supplementary funds for their own accessibility expenses through Accessibility Fund: Project Support.
