BC arts grants continuing to support industry
—
More arts and culture grants will support the industry thanks to the BC Arts Council.
In April, 50 per cent of operating funding was advanced immediately, and the remaining 50 per cent will be distributed next month. Combined, organizations throughout the province will receive more than $15 million to help them budget for the year.
“Arts and culture bring people together and have the ability to help us heal during the pandemic,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. “By supporting artists and arts organizations, we are ensuring that the culture sector can come back strong in the future.”
Richmond Art Gallery Association and Richmond Arts Coalition are two of this year’s grant recipients.
The BC Arts Council also launched a microgrant pilot program to support artists to continue to make art and develop their practice during the pandemic. The program was possible thanks to a donation from the Yosef Wosk Family Foundation.
Until June 30, artists and cultural practitioners can apply for up to $1,500 to help adapt to changes in the sector. For example, artists can use the grant to learn video editing or livestream a performance.
