Arts Presentation Canada

The Arts Presentation Canada (APC) program gives Canadians direct access to a variety of quality artistic experiences through financial assistance to arts presenters or the organizations that support them. The outcome will be that Canadians will have more access to artists’ work from all regions of Canada that reflect its rich cultural diversity. Canadian communities of all backgrounds will have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the broadest possible range of artistic experiences.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible applicants are Canadian, non-profit organizations incorporated under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act (or under corresponding provincial or territorial legislation) that present, in a professional manner, artistic experiences originating from more than one province or territory; or with a core focus on strengthening arts presentation in Canada. Provincial, territorial or municipal institutions (including educational institutions that organize presentation activities for the public), as well as similar institutions or organizations of Status or Non-Status Indians, Inuit and Métis are also eligible.

Summary

The Program has two components:

• the Programming Component for existing arts presenter organizations, arts festivals, and presenter support organizations;

• the Development Component to support the emergence of arts presenters and support organizations for under-served communities or artistic practices. (Please contact your regional office for further details on the Development Component application).

Applicants cannot apply to both components in the same year.
