About Creative Spark Vancouver

--

In partnership with the City of Vancouver, ArtStarts proudly offers the Creative Spark Vancouver Grant to provide emerging artists with financial resources ($3,000 for individuals and $5,000 for groups and art collectives) to go towards small projects.

This grant is designed for you if you:

• are an emerging artist looking to explore career opportunities
• are interested in working with young people (ages 5-18) and need support to start
• have a project idea, but don't have the funds to cover the required materials and supplies

Creative Spark Vancouver is an excellent opportunity for emerging artists to gain experience developing small projects, make community connections, collect new insights on arts and education, as well as future learning and career opportunities.

Our grant guidelines account for the current public health recommendations regarding COVID-19. See full details at: https://artstarts.com/creativesparkvancouver

Deadline to Apply: April 13, 2021
