Program Guidelines
Does your community have limited access to arts education programming?
Do you, or your organization, require funding to develop/enhance arts education for students and youth?
Is your school-based performing
arts group participating in an off-site event and in need of funding for travel expenses?
Financial support for these activities is available through the School and Community Arts Program, a joint initiative of Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth and Manitoba Culture, Heritage and Tourism.
In our commitment to make arts programming more accessible to communities throughout Manitoba, we have developed this program, which provides easy, single-window access to funding for three
unique, new, arts education programs.
Arts Education Access Program: Provides financial assistance to community and non-profit organizations to support arts education programming for children and youth in under-served communities.
After School Arts Enrichment Programming for Students: Provides financial assistance to individuals, schools and community groups to develop new, or enhance existing community arts programs to support
students who do not normally have access to after-school arts education.
Youth Performing Arts Travel Grant: Provides financial support to public school-based performing arts groups participating in off-site performing arts events in or outside Manitoba.
