The Canada Council for the Arts is marking the 150th Anniversary of Confederation by creating a special program to support the creation and sharing of exceptional artistic and literary works. It will result in inspiring works that interpret the world we live in and envision our shared future. These works will encourage public engagement in the arts and will promote outreach locally, nationally and internationally.

The Canada Council encourages projects inclusive of youth, First Nations, Inuit, Métis, culturally diverse, regional, and official language minority communities, and people who are Deaf or have disabilities.

The program has these two deadlines only:  Deadline(s): 4 July, 2016 and 31 October, 2016. Your completed application form and all required support material must be postmarked on or before the deadline date. To apply, log on to http://canadacouncil.ca/council/grants/find-a-grant/grants/new-chapter.
