NEW GRANT DEADLINE JUNE 19TH, 2015
“ArtReach is distributing $270,000 in the form of grants to youth arts projects in Toronto. If this sounds like something that could support your work, or the work of someone you know, we want to hear from you! Request an application by June 15th!
Please help us get these funds to the young people who can make the biggest impact by sharing this opportunity with those in your community, or contact us now to get started on an application.
We want to hear from young people running projects in Toronto that:
- Increase access to quality arts opportunities that encourage creative expression and involve meaningful engagement of youth (ages 13 – 29) in Toronto
- Promote social inclusion and provide opportunities for youth to develop leadership skills, capacity and opportunities within their communities and the initiatives they lead
- Provide opportunities for youth to benefit from both the intrinsic (e.g. enjoyment, creative expression) and instrumental value (e.g. community engagement, skills development, social change) of the arts
- Involve youth in project development, implementation and evaluation
- Involve artist(s) with relevant experience and reach into participating communities
Available funding includes:
- $5,000: Pilot Projects (funds to try out a new idea, or a smaller-scale or first-time project)
- $10,000: One Phase Projects
- $15,000: Two Phase Projects (Available to previous ArtReach grant recipients)
Once you’ve read them over, contact Paulina O’Kieffe, Director/Grants Manager at grants@artreach.org to get an application.
