Artist Development Microgrant (CADA)

Applications Open: January 11, 2021
Application Deadline: Applications will be accepted until February 16, 2021, 4:30pm MT
Notifications: Results will be sent out by mid-March 2021
Funds: Grant money will be released by March 31, 2021

Applications will be assessed as soon as they are received; however, final funding decisions will only be made after the program deadline, once all applications have been assessed. We appreciate receiving applications early because we expect high volumes and this will allow us to process applications sooner to avoid a backlog. This program will be assessed by a peer committee.

While it is a fairly straightforward application process, if you have any questions, want feedback on your application or if it’s your first time applying, please contact us early on so that we can help you through the process.

Applicants may request up to $2,500. Total funding available for this program is $130,000. 

We will only accept one application per individual or collective. Individuals applying to this program as part of a collective cannot also apply as an individual. Success in this program does not affect your eligibility to apply to other Calgary Arts Development grant investment programs in 2021. You may not receive more than one grant for the same project in a calendar year.
