Description

The Edmonton Arts Council’s (EAC) Individuals & Collectives grant has three distinct streams, which each have their own evaluation criteria and assessment process.

  • Have an existing and committed practice in any arts discipline or have a history of professional activity in the arts sector.
  • Be 18 years of age or older.
