The Cultural Infrastructure Grant Program, created as part of the 2008 - 
2023 Cultural Facilities Priorities Plan, offers increased levels of 
support for a wide variety of projects related to cultural spaces. From 
pre-planning and feasibility studies to acquisition, renovation and 
development of cultural spaces, grants of up to $35,000 for planning and 
$150,000 for capital projects are available.  Vancouver-based, 
non-profit cultural organizations may apply. If the application is for 
an existing space, that space must be owned by the organization, or 
secured through a long term lease (minimum 10 years which may include 
renewable periods totaling 10 years).
The 2009 and 2010 awards were extremely competitive and we are 
anticipating the same for 2011. For a summary of past grant recipients 
and their projects, please see the website below.
Organizations considering applying to the Cultural Infrastructure Grant 
must contact a staff member well in advance of the deadline to discuss 
their project. For Guidelines and Application materials and a contact 
email address, please see the website below.

*Artist Studio Regulatory Review*
In the Fall of 2010, Cultural Services launched the Artist Studio 
Regulatory Review. This is the second review following the Live 
Performance Venue Regulatory Review. This multi-year review is intended 
to address key issues affecting artist studio and live-work spaces in 
Vancouver, including affordability, availability, suitability, tenure, etc.
We have completed a series of four roundtables with the artist community 
and key City staff. Come learn about the Review and share your comments 
and suggestions. Staff will be taking recommendations to Mayor and 
Council in July.
