Community Engaged Arts

Calgary Arts Development supports and strengthens the arts to benefit all Calgarians.

As the city’s designated arts development authority, Calgary Arts Development supports and strengthens the arts to benefit all Calgarians. We invest and allocate municipal funding for the arts provided by The City of Calgary and leverage these funds to provide additional resources to the arts sector. Our programs support hundreds of arts organizations, individual artists, artist collectives, and ad hoc groups in Calgary.

Applications for The Prologue Club will open in September 2024 for the 24/25 school year. Stay tuned!

The John Hobday Arts Management Awards are awarded to outstanding managers of professional arts organizations across Canada for the purpose of professional development or mentoring.

• The professional development and resourcing award is given to an exceptional manager in the field of the arts who wishes to participate in a short-term program, a seminar or a recognized workshop.
• The mentoring award is given to an arts manager who wishes to acquire new knowledge, skills and experience through the supervision of a mentor.

The City of Windsor’s Arts, Culture & Heritage Fund (ACHF) invests in the soul of our City by providing financial assistance to locally-developed arts, culture and heritage projects that provide exciting, surprising and meaningful opportunities to strengthen our creative community.
