FYI I’m not applying for any grants or opportunities right now because I think I can make it through without but I’ll share as many as possible. This one is for Indigenous artists which the OAC just extended the deadline for. If anyone would like help /1

writing these too I am here to help. FYI, the OAC team is really good at answering questions but I’m more than happy to read through and offer edits now that I’m done teaching for the year. Hit me up. Seriously. [email protected]
Also, the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective is offering a $250 honorarium to Indigenous artists, no deadline.

Also, City of Ottawa has a Call for Submissions out to purchase artworks (to be delivered once safe). I’ve juried and participated in a lot of these RFPs so, again, if you want help please reach out.

Should have mentioned, deadline for that one is April 29th so still plenty of time to get your work photographed (if it’s not already) and submitted.
I’m pinning this thread to my profile and will keep updating as grants or opportunities fall into my inbox. I really encourage emerging and youth artists to apply for these programs.
