Applications are now being accepted by the BC Arts Council for projects that support youth engagement and community arts festivals.
Funding from the Youth Engagement Program is intended to the development of programs that encourage youth to get involved with arts and culture as either participants or audiences.
Arts Festival grants of up to 6 thousand dollars are given to non-profit, community-based, organizations to support arts festivals which span more than one day.
Both funding streams are also open to First Nations bands and councils.
Applications are being accepted for the Youth Engagement stream until January 15th, while the Arts Festival stream is open until January 30th.
