If you are an emerging artist or artist group from the Downtown Eastside with an idea for an original art project, this program is for you! Join us at Carnegie Community Centre, 401 Main Street Vancouver, BC V6A 2T7 in Classroom II to find out more about the DTES Small Arts Grants Program.
What is this program?
The Downtown Eastside Small Arts Grants (DTESSAG) program is a partnership between Carnegie Community Centre and Vancouver Foundation. Our goal is to help emerging artists to develop their skills and increase the visibility of their artwork.
How can this program help me?
Project grants provide support to emerging artists and artist groups to collaborate in making and showcasing art, and strengthen their interactions through the process. Examples of a group projects could include a live performance, a group exhibition, or a video production. We plan to support up to five group projects this year, and each group may have a maximum of four artists. The budget for your application may range from $500 - $1,000 per person. Groups may be of 2 to 4 people. Groups may apply up to a maximum of $4,000 for groups of 4 people. The total grant awarded will be divided and distributed equally among the artists collaborating within a group. Groups have to tell us in an application how they will use the grant money. With this money, you can buy what you need to take your art to the next level!
What do I need to do?
Apply! In order to receive a grant, artists and/or artist groups have to complete and submit a grant application. Then, the Volunteer Advisory Committee reviews applications for funding. The Volunteer Advisory Committee is made up of DTES Artists. Please note, not all applicants receive funding. One application accepted per person (you cannot apply for both a group grant and an individual grant in the same year). If you are successful in your application, in addition to creating your project, you are required to complete a final report by June 30 2019. A Final Report Template will be provided.
When does all this happen?
Applications are due by 4:00 PM on Friday, November 23, 2018. If your application is approved for funding, you will receive your cheque in February 2019.
Interested? Great!
