Visual Media includes the disciplines and cross-disciplines of painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, pottery, weaving, spinning and sewing, glasswork, and metalwork, and also includes video and experimental filmmaking. Experimental sound work and performance art will be considered if the art practice in question has a visual component and/or speaks to a visual arts context.
The grant is intended to support artists and/or artisans in the exploration of their medium and to challenge their practice in new directions.
Eligible uses of the grant include but are not limited to: contributing to funding for post-secondary studies in an arts program, enrolment in workshops, specialized skills training, mentorships and residencies, the purchase of equipment and/or materials, and travel costs only where such use of the grant will directly enable the applicant to work closely with other artists of similar or advanced skill level.
