Explore and Create $10,000 Grant for Canadian Artists

Explore and Create’s Professional Development for Artists component encourages involvement in various development initiatives to help Canadian artists and artistic groups advance their careers. Grants support activities that help Canadian artists flourish professionally working in all artistic fields.

This program provides opportunities for Canadian artists and artistic groups to:

  • Participate in professional development activities that enhance their careers;
  • Connect with other artists and artistic groups, both nationally and internationally;
  • Showcase their work to new audiences; and
  • Build their capacity to create and sustain a vibrant art practice.

Professional Development for Artists grants are available to Canadian artists and artistic groups at three different stages of their careers: Emerging, Established, and senior. Emerging artists are in the early stages of their careers and are working to develop their skills and establish themselves in the arts community.

Established artists have developed a significant body of work and have a track record of success in their field. Senior artists have made a significant contribution to the Canadian arts scene and have a long history of professional achievement.
