1: Individual Artists

Reinforce the Council’s commitment to individual artists, working alone or collaboratively, as the core of artistic practice in Canada.

Other Information:

The Canada Council will explore ways to align its support of individual artists more closely to their creative and career needs, in both Canada and abroad. As resources permit, it will increase the maximum grant levels and flexibility of support available to individual artists, and aim eventually to parallel more closely the levels of support available to research professionals in the academic world. It will increase its outreach to younger artists applying to the Canada Council in the early stages of their professional careers. It will also enhance its celebration of recipients of Canada Council administered prizes to make a larger public aware of the accomplishments of Canadian artists.
