welcome - Edmonton Arts Council
 

Cultural Diversity in the Arts Awards

Nomination Deadline: October 3rd



Purpose

The City of Edmonton through the Edmonton Arts Council established the Cultural Diversity in the Arts Program to recognize that artists from all parts of the world enrich Edmonton’s cultural scene. We also understand that newcomers can feel isolated from the greater community.

These awards recognize and support individual artists who, due to their cultural background and relatively recent arrival in our city find themselves in artistic exile. The intent is to help these artists pursue their artistic work and connect with the more mainstream institutions and support networks taken for granted by most Edmonton Artists.

Anyone may nominate artists for this award, or artists may self-nominate. Awards are fixed at $7500 to allow an artist concentrated time for artistic work.



Eligibility

A person is eligible for a Cultural Diversity in the Arts Award if she or he is (all of the following must apply): 

  • an Edmonton resident since at least January 1 of the year of the nomination 
  • eligible to work in Canada 
  • 18 years of age or older
  • committed to pursuing their artistic endeavours while living in Edmonton 
  • a relative newcomer to Edmonton (usually defined as having arrived within the last 10 years, but individual circumstances may vary)
