Important Notice for 2012 Programs

Update April 2, 2012

The PEI Council of the Arts can confirm that we will not know our 2012-2013 budget allocation until late in April. The size of our allocation directly affects the programs we can deliver; therefore, we will push forward the deadlines for 2012 Grant programs, whatever they may be, to no sooner than June 15, 2012. This will allow us time to make whatever programmatic changes are required under our 2012-2013 budget and make that information available to artists well in advance of the updated deadline.

All relevant information will be posted here, in this spot, for all to have access, as it becomes available.

2 avril 2012

Le Conseil des arts de l’Île‑du‑Prince‑Édouard signale qu’il ne sera informé de son allocation budgétaire pour l’exercice de 2012-2013 qu’à la fin avril. Comme l’importance de l’allocation a des conséquences directes sur les programmes qu’offre le Conseil, la date limite de tous les programmes de subvention pour 2012 va être remise. Les dates limites pour faire une soumission seront donc reportées au 15 juin 2012, au plus tôt. Cette mesure permettra au Conseil d’effectuer les changements nécessaires pour adapter les programmes à son budget 2012-2013 et d’informer les artistes de ces changements bien avant la nouvelle date limite des programmes.

Toute information pertinente sera affichée ici dès qu’elle sera disponible afin que tout le monde puisse y accéder.

Grant Programs - Programmes de subvention

The PEI Council of the Arts offers three main funding programs for professional artists, in order to support Island artists in all stages of the artistic process:

1. Professional Development Grants fund skills development opportunities for artists and arts managers.

2. Creation/Production Grants assist in the production of artistic works.

3. Dissemination/Presentation Grants enable artists to share their completed works with the community.

Before you begin the application process, you should carefully read the application guidelines and forms for the program that best fits your funding needs. If this is your first time applying, we also recommend that you read our Step-by-Step Guide. All applicants are encouraged to contact the Program Officer prior to applying to discuss requirements and eligibility.

The next grant deadline will be no sooner than June 15^th at 4 pm. Please see the note above regarding programs for 2012. The most current information regarding programs offered and deadlines for those programs will always be found on this page.

The purpose of the Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts grant funding is to promote and support the creation and presentation of works of art, and to develop the capacity of artists and arts organizations throughout the Prince Edward Island. Our grant programs are not income support, but are merit based on the proposal submitted for each individual round. Grant proposals are adjudicated through the process of peer assessment, thereby empowering the members of the arts community to determine the best investment of public arts funds in a fair and objective manner.
