ArtStarts in Schools is a charitable organization that expands the role of art in education to activate learning and nurture creativity in British Columbia's young people.
Small projects can make a big impact. Emerging artists across all artistic and cultural disciplines living in the City of Vancouver who have an interest in building their careers and working with young people in an arts or culture-based capacity are invited to apply for Creative Spark Vancouver.
If you relate to the statements below, then this grant is for you:
- I’m an Emerging Artist in any artistic or cultural discipline and I am interested in exploring my career opportunities
- I’m interested in working with young people (ages 5-18) and need support to start
- I have a project idea but don’t have the funds to cover the required materials and supplies
The artist's project must engage young people (ages 5-18) and focus on arts-based learning in any artistic discipline. Creative Spark Vancouver enables emerging artists to gain experience on small projects that could lead to new career opportunities, new community relationships, different perspectives on arts and education, future learning opportunities and exciting multi-faceted projects.
