The deadline to apply for the inaugural Alberta Artist in Residence grant program is quickly approaching. This program seeks to inspire innovation in the arts and encourage dialogue by supporting visionary artists and cultural leaders to create work and lead conversations on the role of artists and the arts in society.
Artists are encouraged to apply for this grant, worth up to $75,000, to become Alberta’s Artist in Residence for a one-year term. Through this grant, the Artist in Residence will:
- develop and showcase an art project that addresses a key issue(s) in their community
- work with Alberta communities to promote the importance of artists and the arts
- communicate and share their perspective on the artistic process with the public and government
- act as an advocate for understanding the realities of artists and the communities in which they work
This annual opportunity is open to all artists who are residents of Alberta that practice any artistic discipline(s). The deadline is December 10.
