NWT Arts Council grants | Arts project funding

This program provides grants that support the ongoing development and presentation of creative arts in the visual, literary, media and performing arts in the Northwest Territories (NWT). Consideration is given to organizations or individuals requesting funds for professional development, artistic work, or public presentation on a project-specific basis only.

NWT Arts Council Grants have been restructured as Small Arts Project Grants and Medium Arts Project Grants.

• Small Arts Project Grants provide up to $5,000 per intake for small-scale arts projects (e.g., traditional apparel, paintings) for emerging and mid-career artists, craftspeople and small groups. The grant supports costs such as art supplies (e.g., beads, thread, furs, etc.), education, training, and artistic development.
• Medium Arts Project Grants provide up to $10,000 per intake for medium-scale arts projects and events (e.g., collection of work such as paintings, exhibition support) for mid-career to established artists, craftspeople and organizations. The grant supports costs for materials and supplies needed to produce and display artwork, artist fees, education, training, and artistic development.

As a result of these changes there will not be a call out for NWT Arts Council Grants in October 2023. The new grants will continue to have two annual intakes; the deadlines will be February 28 and August 31 starting in 2024.
