Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada

The Canada Council awards prizes and fellowships in a wide variety of fields of practice, often in partnership with other organizations. They are designed for artists working in a specific field or those at a certain stage in their career.
The Canada Council helps individual artists, groups and arts organizations engage in projects and activities. Grants are available for Canadian citizens or permanent residents who have specialized training — though not necessarily in an academic setting — and are recognized as professionals by other artists in the field of practice.
