Toronto Arts Council has partnered with City of Toronto Museum & Heritage Services and Evergreen Brick Works to provide opportunities for artists to re-imagine and animate selected Toronto historic sites, community museums and Evergreen Brick Works through engagement with their histories, local contexts, and communities.
The available sites are Scarborough Museum, Spadina Museum, Gibson House Museum, Montgomery's Inn, Todmorden Mills, Zion Schoolhouse and Evergreen Brick Works.
Programming Grants (up to $30,000) provide opportunities for curators/producers to present a series of programs and events at selected City sites and Evergreen Brick Works.
Exploration Grants (up to $5,000) are smaller grants that provide the opportunity for curators/producers to engage with community, landscape, volunteers and the site staff to explore ideas for future projects.
