The City and District of North Vancouver have a long tradition of working together to support the arts, and to invest in the creative potential of the community. The Arts Office administers a wide range of community, arts and cultural grant programs on behalf of the City and District of North Vancouver. This investment focuses on local, not-for-profit arts and community organizations, recognizes creative sector activity as a cornerstone of a vital, energetic community, and supports the rich diversity of cultural life on the North Shore.
Currently, the Arts Office administers three grants programs that have been designed to sustain and to encourage innovation in the not-for-profit creative community, and to ensure that municipal investment continues to support activities that express community priorities:
PROJECT GRANTS ... provide support to eligible applicants in the following five categories:
- Grant Requests Up To $2500
- Arts Projects
- Community Art Projects
- Community Celebrations
- Signature Events and Festivals
OPERATING GRANTS ... provide support for the annual operating and programming activities of eligible North Shore arts, culture and heritage groups.
CORE FUNDING GRANTS ... currently support four leading North Vancouver arts organizations that partner with the municipalities to operate and program civic cultural facilities in the City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver.
