This release was issued under a previous government.
Organizations can now apply for funding for Alberta Culture Days 2019 celebrations.
Albertans have the chance to discover, experience and celebrate arts and culture in their communities during Alberta Culture Days, Sept. 27–29.
“Our government is proud to support Alberta’s vibrant culture. Alberta Culture Days help us all better understand the arts, culture, diversity and community spirit in our province. Last year was one of our best yet, and we’re excited to see what 2019 brings. I encourage all communities and organizations to apply for an Alberta Culture Days grant to share their art, music, history and food this September.”
Applications can be downloaded from the Alberta Culture Days grant website and submitted via mail. The deadline to apply is April 4.
Grants are open to cultural organizations, non-profit groups, venues and facilities, school and community groups, First Nation and Métis settlements, and post-secondary institutions. Eligible community organizations can apply for one of the following:
- up to $10,000 for three days of programming as a Feature Celebration Site
- up to $5,000 for two days of programming as a Host Celebration Site
- up to $1,000 for one day of programming as a Pop Up Celebration Site
Last year, 471 events took place in 56 communities giving thousands of Albertans access to events to celebrate our culture, diversity and community spirit.
Alberta Culture Days is part of the National Culture Days initiative, where millions of people across Canada participate in Culture Days activities and programs.
