Awards are available only once each fiscal year on a project basis to assist with the activities of professional arts festivals in British Columbia.

The program is not available to recipients of Operating Assistance from the BC Arts Council.
Description
Project Assistance: Professional Arts Festivals supports eligible organizations and arts or curatorial collectives in the development, enrichment, and creation of new or unique public programming through a specific project, component, or programming initiative within an existing festival.
A festival is an event that includes related arts and cultural activities and programming presented over a continuous period of more than one day. Grants received through this program are intended to encourage specific art forms or practices, increase the availability of arts in the community, and support the artistic programming of festivals.
**Grants are not available through this program to support a festival in its entirety, or festivals being offered for the first time, or single-day festivals (these activities may be supported through other Project Assistance grant programs).**
Community arts organizations, for example, community arts councils, are not eligible for this program. Community arts organizations that produce festivals should apply to the Project Assistance: Community Arts Festivals program.
