Lambton’s Creative County Grant Program is now accepting funding applications for arts, culture and heritage initiatives happening in Lambton County in 2024.
The program invests in new and innovative projects that build cultural capacity, strengthen the creative community, and enrich the quality of life of all residents, the County says.
Organizers of new or expanding initiatives are encouraged to apply online for funding to cover up to 50 percent of project costs.
“Last year, the program supported 19 projects led by community organizations, such as visual arts, music, dance and theatre programming, cultural events, festivals, public art installations, film production, historical recognition, and much more,” said Andrew Meyer, general manager, cultural services division.
“The many arts, culture and heritage organizations in Lambton that benefit from this program enrich the lives of residents in immeasurable ways through these projects, helping to celebrate Lambton’s rich past and unique identity.”
Applications for the Creative County Grant Program will be accepted online only at lambtononline.ca/creativecounty starting at 9 a.m. on Monday, October 2, 2023.
The application period will close on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 4 p.m.
The County of Lambton has allocated a budget of $75,000 in available funding for the 2024 program year.
Since its inception in 2013, the Creative County Grant Program has provided financial support to nearly 200 cultural initiatives across Lambton County.
