Ontario Arts Council - Curatorial Projects: Indigenous and Culturally Diverse

Purpose

The program funds the work of Ontario-based Indigenous curators and curators who are people of colour. It aims to increase the ability of Ontario public galleries, artist-run centres and other organizations to present projects by Indigenous curators and curators who are people of colour in contexts determined by the participants. The program supports relationship building between curators, galleries, and audiences. There are two categories:

• Curatorial projects by Indigenous curators
• Curatorial projects by curators who are people of colour

Grant amount(s)

• Curatorial projects by Indigenous curators: maximum $30,000
• Curatorial projects by curators who are people of colour: maximum $30,000

Important: Due to the number of applications we receive and the limited funds that are available, grants awarded may be smaller than the amount requested.

Eligible applicants

• Ontario-based, professional, independent Indigenous curators and curators who are people of colour, partnering with an Ontario public art gallery, artist-run centre or other not-for-profit arts presenter. The curator must be an Ontario resident with a permanent physical address in Ontario. Organizations must be not-for-profit and have a permanent physical address in Ontario.
