What is an Arts Industry Grant?

Art industry grants aim to foster cultural growth, support professional artists, and promote access to the arts within communities.
Grants are typically categorized into:
- Activity Grants: Focused on funding specific activities such as creating new works, producing performances, or conducting workshops.
- Audience Grants: Targeted at specific groups, such as Indigenous artists, youth, or underserved communities.

Grants vs Loans in Canada for Arts Businesses
| Aspect | Business Grants | Business Loans |
|---|---|---|
| Repayment | Not required | Required with interest |
| Financial Risk | Minimal | Moderate to high |
| Eligibility | Strict and project-specific | Based on creditworthiness |
| Application Process | Competitive and time-consuming | Faster but requires financial proof |
For specific projects like creating a new art installation, producing a play, or organizing a community arts program, grants are highly beneficial. Loans, however, are better suited for ongoing operational costs or infrastructure investments, such as setting up a studio or purchasing equipment.
