The Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) is a crown agency of the Government of Alberta formed in 1991. Each year, $19 M from lottery revenues is distributed by the AFA to individual artists and arts organizations in the visual, performing and literary arts, and cultural industries. The AFA also administers the Alberta Film Development Program annual budget of $11 million. As the result of annual Foundation support to more than 1,200 grant applicants, Albertans enjoy an enhanced quality of life through opportunities to participate in the arts.
