Upcoming Grant Workshops

Grant Information Sessions for Dance Projects

Alberta dance artists, teachers and administrators considering applying for grant support from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) are invited to information seminars in Calgary and Edmonton to learn about the AFA's Dance Project Grant program.

The next deadline for applications to this program is February 15, 2009. Join Paul Reich, Arts Development Consultant with the Arts Branch of the Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit for a discussion on:

  • program eligibility criteria, requirements and assessment process;
  • applying for training and career development, choreography, production, commissioning, arts administration, marketing, and research projects;
  • tips for developing a proposal and budget; and
  • your questions

Participants should bring the Dance Project application forms and program guidelines to the session. Forms available at http://www.affta.ab.ca/individual-project-form.shtml
