Artists and art groups are invited to apply for the Kamloops Arts Council spring grants cycle to receive up to $1,000 in funding.

The grants will be awarded to artists and art groups twice each year up to $1,000. Individuals and groups must be KAC members in order to apply for the funding. Grants are awarded primarily to assist local artists and art organizations to promote their art or further their education.

Applications should fall under one of the following categories: 

1) Professional Development: To help further the artistic development of an individual artist or arts organization (e.g., apply for a conference or workshop that will advance your artistic path). 

2) Community Development: To support artistic development in the community through initiatives such as workshops, master classes, seminars, performances or exhibitions (e.g., apply to produce an event that will benefit the community).

Past grant recipients have included the Kamloops Brandenburg Orchestra, Chimera Theatre, writer Erin Linn McMullan and performer Sheanna James.
