An incredible response and a lasting legacy
New Chapter was created to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation and is part of a historic re-investment in the arts. Canada Council for the Arts received more than 2,000 applications for the $35M program – making it a highly competitive program and a challenge for the juries! Grants range from $50,000 for individuals to $400,000 for organizations. Works will be presented in cities and regions across Canada, and many will tour internationally, creating a lasting legacy for our arts sector and audiences here and abroad.
Watch these exciting projects progress and follow their news via #CouncilNewChapter.
