Project Grant for Individual Artists

Project Grant Funding is not intended:

• for projects that focus on capital expenditures unless the expenditures are integral to the artistic process
• for endowment purposes
• for formal education or training that would result in a diploma or degree
• for projects or programs that primarily benefit an organization or institution rather than an individual artist.

Eligibility

• resides in the City of Edmonton*
• has completed training, an apprenticeship or a recognized body of work in an arts discipline
• meets the requirements of one or more of the following:

• is dedicated to the professional practice of the art, as evidenced by a significant investment of time and resources
• receives payment for artistic work (i.e. artist fees)
• has received public exposure, through professional showings, screenings, publication, or performances where selection was carried out by an objective, arm's length body such as a jury or publisher
• enjoys peer recognition through: critical reviews, participation in community activities and membership in professional associations.

*Applicants must have lived in Edmonton for at least 12 months at the time of application. EAC staff reserve the right to ask for proof of Edmonton residency. Residency is established by having received a personal CCRA Notice of Assessment (the statement you are sent after filing an annual income tax return) indicating a residential address in Edmonton or an Alberta driver's license with an Edmonton address current to the date of application.
