Apply for AFA Grants
All eligible Alberta artists and arts organizations are encouraged to apply for an AFA grant. We are proud of Alberta’s artists, and we are especially proud to provide behind-the-scenes support to the arts. We acknowledge the power of creative activity to inspire minds, encourage expression, improve quality of life and contribute to the province’s economic prosperity.
Unleash your creative potential with an AFA grant and see where the arts take you. Choose an individual project grant, an organization operational or project grant, or a cultural industries grant.
The purpose of the AFA’s Individual Artists Project Grant program is to support the development of individual Alberta artists, arts administrators or an ensemble of Alberta artists by providing a grant for a specific arts-related project.
Organization grants are divided into project grants and operational grants.
The purpose of the Arts Organization Project Grant program is to support registered Alberta arts organizations, companies and/or schools by providing a grant for a specific arts-related project or event.
The Arts Organization Operational Grant program supports the annual operating expenses of some of Alberta’s arts and cultural organizations and companies, including theatre and performing arts organizations, public art galleries and community arts organizations.
The Cultural Industries Grant program supports Alberta-based book publishing, magazine publishing and sound recording companies through grant funding. This support is for projects creating and producing new cultural work or for assistance with operating expenses.
