Announcing The 2020 Hnatyshyn Foundation $10,000 Developing Artist Grants
Nominations starting : January 27th, 2020 – ending April 16th, 2020

The Hnatyshyn Foundation is a private charity established as a legacy by the late Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, Canada’s twenty-fourth Governor General. In light of the vital role artists play in expressing our national identity, our founder believed deeply in the importance of assisting emerging and established artists with their schooling, training and career development.

The Hnatyshyn Foundation’s Developing Artists Grants program is designed to bridge funding gaps in existing programs and provide assistance to the most promising young Canadian performing artists enrolled in a qualified Canadian post-secondary educational or training institution that offers programs in performing arts.

The institution must nominate the candidate and may submit one nominee per artistic discipline.  Nominees will be identified by the institution on the basis of exceptional promise for a distinguished career in performance and may be nominated by only one institution. Once the student is nominated, he/she will be invited to fill out an online application.

A panel of arts advisors, appointed by the Foundation, will then adjudicate the performance work of the nominees. Candidates who have previously received the grant are not eligible.

Seven grants of $10,000 each will be awarded in 2020, in the fields of
⦁ classical music (orchestral instrument),
⦁ classical music (piano),
⦁ classical voice,
⦁ jazz,
⦁ contemporary dance,
⦁ acting (English theatre), and
⦁ acting (French theatre).
