ARTSNOW CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM UPDATE & NEW 
EXPLORATIONS SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM



Please be advised that the next application deadline for ArtsNow
contribution programs - Catalyst and Innovations - will be June 2005.

New guidelines, applications and deadline updates will be available on
our website starting April 15, 2005. 

As a brief backgrounder, 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. 

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.

Also, we are pleased to announce the launch of a new contribution
program - Explorations Summer Camp Program - funded by the BC 
Ministry of Education and 2010 LegaciesNow. 

Explorations will provide grants to elementary schools and school 
districts in BC to provide more access to quality summer experiences 
for students in grades K-7, in arts, sport and recreation. Explorations 
will bring local artists and/or sport & recreation instructors in direct 
contact with elementary public schools, teachers and students to 
complement and extend delivery of existing public school curriculum 
and community initiatives. 

Arts and cultural organizations with a specific program ideas in mind 
and wish to get involved should contact the Explorations Program at 
(604) 659-1400 
or email:
explorations@2010LegaciesNow.com
<mailto:explorations@2010LegaciesNow.com>  

to express their interest in being matched with a participating 
school/school district.
