What you need to know
Every year, the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Park Board award more than $17 million to non-profit arts, cultural organizations, and artists through a variety of grant programs.
We appreciate the value that the arts brings to the lives of our citizens and the life of our city. As Vancouver author and artist Douglas Coupland puts it, “A city without strong, consistent arts funding is basically a parking lot.”
To help meet the diverse needs of artists, organizations, and communities, our arts and culture grants are grouped into categories based on the type of support offered.
