Grant Applications
What is submitted, what comes next, and the published deadlines. Updated 22 October 2026.
One application is under review: the City of Ottawa Grow grant, submitted on 15 October 2026. It asks the City to fund three scarf-printing workshops in Ottawa and a showcase in 2027. Nothing has been awarded, and this page changes on the day a decision comes. Doors that open only to an Indigenous applicant are for Indigenous co-authors to decide on, and this page lists none of them. An earlier version of this page showed three draft applications with dollar figures; those drafts are set aside.
Two arts-council doors stay shut to us today. The Ontario Arts Council's Media Artists Creation Projects and the Canada Council's Explore and Create both require the applicant to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and the person behind this project holds a work permit. The Ontario Arts Council door opens once an application for permanent residence is pending; the Canada Council door opens once permanent residence is granted, or when an eligible co-creator leads the work.
City of Ottawa · Equity and Inclusion in the Arts, Grow

Shevchenko Foundation · Film and Media Arts
Applicant: INNOVA CONSULT LTD. The Foundation's individual streams are closed to a work-permit holder, so the company applies.
