Arts Grants for Individuals and Collectives (Fall 2020)

Individual artists and their work are the foundation of our arts community. Working alone or in groups they pursue work that develops their practice, advances creative thought, contributes to an art form and provides our community with a reflection of itself. Arts Grants for Individuals and Collectives 2020 has three distinct streams, each with its own evaluation criteria and assessment process.

The Edmonton Artists' Trust Fund (EATF)

The Edmonton Artists’ Trust Fund (EATF) is a joint partnership of the Edmonton Arts Council and the Edmonton Community Foundation. The EATF is designed to invest in Edmonton’s creative professionals and to encourage artists to stay in our community. The funds are intended to offset living and working expenses, allowing the artist to devote a concentrated period of time to their artistic activities, career enhancement and/or development.

Equity and Access in the Arts (Formerly Cultural Diversity in the Arts)

Equity and Access in the Arts invests in a thriving and diverse arts community by supporting Edmonton based artists and collectives from communities that face barriers to access.
