The Canada Council is investing $116.5 million in Supporting Arts and Live Events Workers in Response to COVID-19, which was announced in the last federal government economic statement.
The Council is investing this one-time additional funding in its Explore and Create program (deadlines March 31 and April 28) and the Digital Now initiative (deadlines April 8 and October 6).
The Canada Council for the Arts is undertaking these initiatives to stimulate job creation, research, creativity, and innovation. The investments will serve as a springboard for sector recovery and strengthen the digital scene that’s taking shape right now.
