Welcome to ArtsNow. Over the coming three years we will be working 
to strengthen and enhance the creative capacity of individuals,
organizations and communities throughout British Columbia.  



We are pleased to announce our first three pilot contribution
programs. They were developed in consultation with the arts and
culture sector to address three specific areas: capacity building for
organizations, culture planning and community engagement. 



Guidelines and application forms are available on-line at
www.2010legaciesnow.com <http://www.2010legaciesnow.com/>  - 
click on "ArtsNow". 

If you have trouble accessing them through the website,
please contact 604-659-1400 or e-mail: 
artsnow@2010legaciesnow.com
<mailto:artsnow@2010legaciesnow.com>  and hardcopies will be 
forwarded to you.

The three pilot programs are:


Creative Communities

The Creative Communities Program offers matching funding for
communities to undertake cultural development initiatives in
association with community leaders. This program assists with
structured fact-finding and consensus-building scans and assessments
to identify a community's cultural assets, needs and opportunities. It
also supports the creation of cultural development plans to detail the
strategies and resources required to ensure that arts and culture are
effective contributors to the economic and social health of a
community or region. 


Catalyst

The Catalyst Program provides funding for BC cultural organizations to
undertake initiatives that will enhance their sustained ability to
realize their artistic goals and achieve excellence by building their
artistic and organizational capacity, and/or the capacity of their
audiences. 


Innovations


The Innovations Program offers assistance to organizations or
communities that want to create new opportunities for people in BC to
engage in cultural activities. Like all ArtsNow programs, it focuses
on activities that can have a lasting impact or are a catalyst for
change within BC communities and the cultural sector.
