Helping artists
adapt
Professional artists and others who work
in the arts can get more support to help with
challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic
though a new grant program.
“Together with the arts sector, we are working
hard to make sure that dancers, writers,
painters and other artists can continue being
resilient and finding innovative ways to keep
creating through COVID-19,” said Melanie
Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and
Sport. “We’re building on our support for arts
and culture in British Columbia by helping
artists adapt their work, ensuring our province
has a strong creative industry to enjoy
when the pandemic is over.”
Many artists have been unable to work or
worked less due to the temporary closures
of venues and restricted audience sizes. The
B.C. government is creating a new $500,000
Pivot for Individuals program through the
BC Arts Council to help professional artists,
cultural workers and arts administrators
adapt to these challenges.
Through the
BC Arts Council’s
new program,
people can
apply for up to
$12,000 to learn
new skills or
adapt their practices.
Artists can
apply for a grant
for things such
as modifying a
dance piece for
a smaller audience
or learning
new skills, such
as video editing.
Artists are also
able to apply for
support for professional
development,
like
mentorship or
training.
The program is
available to professional
artists and cultural workers, including:
dancers and choreographers; visual
artists; writers; actors; multi-media artists;
and arts administrators.
Applications are open until Feb. 16, 2021.
The BC Arts Council will adjudicate and
award the grants in early spring 2021.
Pat Henman, theatre artist and BC Arts
Council member commented, “As an independent
artist myself, I know how daunting
it is right now. This new program will be so
welcome by artists trying to maintain their
practice. These grants offer financial support
for professional artists who are vital to our
communities and our economy.”
Quick Facts:
According to Statistics Canada, unemployment
in arts and culture is higher than average
and has not recovered at the pace of other B.C.
industries.
• A 2006 study showed for every dollar
invested through the BC Arts Council,
arts and cultural organizations generate
$1.57 in gross domestic product.
• As part of Stronger BC,
the Province is providing
$21 million to support
arts and culture
organizations’ recovery
through the BC Arts
Council.
• In addition to regular
grants through the
BC Arts Council, the
B.C. government has
provided the following
targeted relief funding
for artists since March
2020:
• More than 108 microgrants
to artists to help
them adapt to changes
in the sector through
the BC Arts Council, in
partnership with Yosef
Wosk Family Foundation
and City of Vancouver.
• More than 740 microgrants
to musicians
to support free livestreams
on Showcase BC
through Creative BC.
