Public Outreach Grant, Arts Across Canada and Abroad
About this call
Public Outreach is one of ten funding opportunities in the Canada Council for the Arts' Arts Across Canada and Abroad program. It provides funding for activities that build connections between artists and diverse audiences and contribute to the public appreciation and enjoyment of the arts in Canada. The wider program connects artists from Canada with audiences at home and around the world, and is open to artists, arts professionals, groups and organizations who want to share, present and tour their work, engage with the public and build stronger national and international profiles. The program was introduced in 2025 and combines activities previously covered by the separate Arts Across Canada and Arts Abroad programs. Applications are viewed, submitted and managed entirely in the Council's client portal, which requires a validated applicant profile.
