About This Opportunity

This funding provides up to $18,000 to support the development of individual Alberta artists, arts administrators, or an ensemble of artists by providing funding for a specific dance project.

Research includes programs that support or result in the development of a dance project. Training and career development includes enrollment in courses or programs designed to develop an artist's training in dance, including related performing arts disciplines and performing arts administration. Eligible projects include workshops, master classes, retreats, mentorship programs, professional development, and pre-professional and professional courses of study in dance. The program is administered by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and is assessed by expert panels on a project-by-project basis.
