ALBERTA GRANTS CALENDAR
This calendar captures upcoming grant deadlines for funding available to arts organizations and artists in Alberta. We have included public funders at the municipal, provincial, federal levels, along with private foundations that support the arts in Alberta.
We hope that this resource is a helpful tool for the arts sector in planning applications and learning about funding programs that are available. You are able to add these events directly into your own calendar by clicking on your preferred calendar application in the listing.
This calendar will be actively updated. If you know of a funding program or grant available to artists or organizations that has not been included in the calendar, you can learn how to submit a new deadline below.
