Local arts and culture organizations can now apply for Metro Vancouver’s 2023 regional cultural grants.

Funding is available to help organizations deliver arts and culture projects that benefit the region. A maximum of $10,000 will be awarded per project.

“Metro Vancouver is pleased to support artists and cultural workers who enrich our region through their creativity, passion, and diversity,” said Metro board chair George Harvie. “Art connects us, challenges us, and inspires us to grow, and we have been consistently impressed with the projects from previous grant recipients, ranging from visual arts, theatre, film, music, and dance.”

These annual grants support region-serving arts and culture projects, providing funding for expenses related to project creation, production, dissemination, audience development, research, project staff, and administrative capacity building.

Completed applications must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Monday, May 1.

The 2023 application form, along with information about project eligibility and selection criteria, is available at metrovancouver.org/cultural-grants.
