Small-Scale Activities (Creating, Knowing and Sharing)
About this call
Small-Scale Activities is one of five funding opportunities in Creating, Knowing and Sharing: The Arts and Cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. The Council describes it as project funding for materials, and artistic or professional development. The wider program supports Indigenous individuals and groups, Indigenous led arts organizations and arts and cultural sector development organizations that foster a vital and resilient Indigenous arts ecosystem, acknowledging the cultural sovereignty of Indigenous peoples and respecting the concept of First Nations, Inuit and Métis self determination. It is the smallest and fastest of the program's project streams, sitting below Short-Term Projects and Long-Term Projects, which run on fixed deadlines. There is no fixed deadline for Small-Scale Activities. Applications are accepted any time before the start date of the project or activity, and the Council says results usually arrive within 3 months of submitting an application.
