Open Grants to Galleries and Groups – Application Now Available Online

** Due to overwhelming demand, we have distributed the funds available at this time. We encourage you to consider applying when the next round of grants becomes available on April 1, 2014. **

Visual Arts Nova Scotia invites applications from Gallery and Group members for the inaugural Open Grants Program serving to support exhibition activity in Nova Scotia.

Any gallery or group who is a member of Visual Arts Nova Scotia is eligible to apply for up to $250 to assist with costs to mount an exhibition. The grants will be given out on a first come, first serve basis. Galleries and/or groups must fill out a short application form on our website to receive funds.

At this time, we will not prescribe uses for the funds; however you will be required to indicate how the money will assist the exhibition. The intention of Visual Arts Nova Scotia’s Open Grants program is to enhance exhibition activities across the province by supporting groups/galleries who are organizing shows.

Please note this program has limited funding, once it has been spent, the program will close until the beginning of the next fiscal year. We ask that an acknowledgment of this funding be included in any promotional materials accompanying the proposed project. Each gallery/group is eligible for one grant per year. Galleries or Groups can become a member at the time of application.
