Exhibition Assistance Grants

The Justina M. Barnicke Gallery is a sanctioned Ontario Arts Council Exhibition Assistance Grant Recommender Organization for Region 3.

The program provides grants of $500 to $1,500 to assist individual artists with costs related to presenting their work for an exhibition

Grants are made through third-party recommenders (public art galleries, artist-run centres and arts service organizations) throughout the province. Artists must apply directly to a recommender located in the zone in which they live. Approved applications are forwarded to OAC by the recommender once the decision to award a grant has been made.

Eligibility: This program is open to Ontario-based professional visual artists, craft artists and media artists who have a confirmed, upcoming public exhibition

Deadlines: Applications should arrive to the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery no later than September 15, 2009 or January 15, 2010.
