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 grant or an organization grant.

The purpose of AFA’s individual grants 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 operating grants.

The purpose of the organization project grant is to support registered Alberta arts organizations, companies and/or schools by providing a grant for a specific arts-related project or event.

The Organization Operating Grant  supports the annual operating expenses of some of Alberta’s arts and cultural organizations and companies, including theatre and performing arts organizations, book and magazine publishers, sound recording labels, public art galleries and community arts organizations.
