About Edmonton Arts Council Skills and Career Development Grant Program

Stream 2 is intended to support receiving mentorship, attending a residency, or other forms of professional development for artists and arts and cultural workers. Projects may be individual or collective, and grants are available up to $10,000 based on projected expenses, including artist subsistence. It is not necessary for an application to Stream 2 to be connected to a specific work, but receiving mentorship, attending a residency or professional development may be directed towards potential future work.
