Dear BC Arts Council stakeholder,

I am writing to ensure you are aware of new funding opportunities 
through the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.  On 
January 9, 2013, Honourable Bill Bennett, Minister of Community, Sport 
and Cultural Development, announced that the B.C. government is 
investing $1.5 million in two new programs: BC Creative Communities and 
BC Creative Spaces.  Non-profit arts and/or cultural organizations, 
First Nations band councils and friendship centres are eligible to apply 
for one-time-only funding.  The BC Creative Communities program will 
provide up to 75% of project costs, to a maximum of $25,000, to eligible 
projects that help arts and cultural organizations to get more British 
Columbians involved in creative activities in their communities.   The 
BC Creative Spaces program will provide up to 75% of project costs, to a 
maximum of $50,000, to improve the physical conditions for engaging 
British Columbians in creative activities.  The deadline for 
applications is Friday, February 15, 2013 at 1:00 pm.

To see the full News Release from Honourable Bennett, please visit 
www.gov.bc.ca/cscd <http://www.gov.bc.ca/cscd>.

For additional information on these programs, including guidelines and 
application forms, please see 
http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/arts_culture/index.htm or contact the Program 
Coordinators at BCCreativeSpaces at gov.bc.ca 
<mailto:BCCreativeSpaces at gov.bc.ca>, BCCreativeCommunities at gov.bc.ca 
<mailto:BCCreativeCommunities at gov.bc.ca>  or by phone at 250-952-6510.

While these programs are not offered through the BC Arts Council, they 
nevertheless represent an important and timely addition to the support 
provided by the Ministry.

On behalf of the BC Arts Council, thank you for your ongoing 
contributions to arts and culture.

Sincerely,

Stan Hamilton

Chair
