New Deadlines for Northern Arts program


September 14, 2011 - Effective immediately, the deadlines for the Northern Arts program have changed to: November 15, 2011 and May 15, 2012.

There will be no deadline in February 2012. When we made this decision, we had to balance the need for internal program support and the date change requests from artists and organizations. You can download the application form from our website, or call us to have it mailed to you.

Reminders!
Funding Access to Project Programs

As of September 2011, OAC project grant recipients must submit their final report on their previous grant prior to applying again to that grant program. This will help to ensure that a growing pool of artists has access to OAC’s project programs. The policy change will be consistent across all OAC programs. Grant recipients will still be eligible to apply for other OAC project grants for their different projects as long as their previous grant reports are not overdue.

There are some exemptions to this policy: The Artists in Education program, the Ontario and National and International Touring programs and the three third-party recommender programs — Exhibition Assistance, Theatre Creators’ Reserve and Writers’ Reserve.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions about the program or your application, or to discuss your project ideas.
