(COVID-19) Project Assistance: Pivot Program

Description

The Project Assistance: Pivot Program supports the B.C. arts and culture sector in adapting their organizations, programs and practices in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pivot Program intends to support: Organizational Development and Transition – projects that support organizations to undertake significant strategic initiatives to address organizational capacity needs and manage transition, including human resources, governance, community engagement and outreach, revenue diversification, and/or development projects. Projects will demonstrate a clear strategic and mission-driven approach to the overall development of the activity and will propose specific enhancements or shifts in the organization’s overall capacity and position as a result of the project; Adaptation in Artistic Practices – projects that support a shift in artistic practices towards innovative forms of creation, production, development, presentation or exhibition. These projects will be responsive to the new realities of the 21stcentury; including digital transformations, reduction of green-house gases, responding to equity/diversity/access concerns, and developing new ways of operating in the current context of COVID-19.
