The Canada Council for the Arts is Canada’s national, arm’s-length arts funding agency. Our main areas of activity are:
Grants: We provide funding to individual professional artists and arts organizations through a peer assessment process.
Endowments and Prizes:
Each year we award fellowships and prizes to some 200 artists and scholars.
Research, communications and arts promotion activities also further our mandate to support, promote and celebrate the arts.
The Canada Council Art Bank, the Killam Program, thePublic Lending Right Commission and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO are all administered through the Canada Council.
