National Arts Centre - National Creation Fund

Paving the way for a new model of creation in Canada’s performing arts.

Artists and arts organizations across the country have told us that too often, they lack the extensive resources and time that are required to develop compelling work – work that is ambitious, innovative and fully realized.
We call this the creation gap.
The National Arts Centre is determined to fill that gap.

Criteria

The National Creation Fund invests in projects that meet the following criteria:

• They are led by Canadian creators in theatre, dance, music and/or inter-disciplinary performing arts;
• They are artistically ambitious and compelling;
• They have a strong artistic team and committed producing and presenting partners;
• They are likely to have a national or international impact; and
• They articulate how the Fund’s investment would enhance the project’s development process and elevate the project to a new level.
