Craft Projects
Purpose
The program supports craft-based practices through grants to Ontario-based artists, curators, ad hoc groups, collectives and organizations. The program has five categories:
- Research/Creation/Development – Emerging artists and curators: to help cover the costs of research, experimentation, creation, production and/or career development
- Research/Creation/Development – Mid-career artists and curators: to help cover the costs of research, experimentation, creation, production and/or career development
- Research/Creation/Development – Established artists and curators: to help cover the costs of research, experimentation, creation, production and/or career development
- Research/Creation/Development – Collaborations: to help cover the costs of artists to collaborate on research, experimentation, creation, production and/or career development
- Connections: to help cover the costs of projects that connect Ontario craft with audiences and expand the public profile and appreciation for craft; programming that encourages craft-based critical discourse and curatorial practice; and activities that make connections within the Ontario craft community
Priorities
The program’s priorities are to support:
- a range of craft-based practices including work that is functional, conceptual, sculptural or from an art or design perspective
- projects that explore new directions or preserve craft traditions
- Indigenous artists working with craft materials in contemporary or customary ways
- activities that contribute to arts education, public participation and community involvement in craft in Ontario
- craft artists at all stages of their careers
- craft artists to create individually or to work with others collaboratively, either within the craft field or in other disciplines
