ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Are you a visual, performing or community-engaged artist, poet or storyteller
interested in sharing your creativity with the community outdoors this summer?
Saanich Community Services invites proposals from artists and arts groups for
small-scale outdoor activities and activations connecting the community with the
arts in Saanich parks and public spaces.
Activities are designed for engagement with and the enjoyment of the community.
Pop-ups can be performances, creative productions, activities or community-based
art projects! A limited amount of funding is available to cover small honoraria for
activities that may need financial support.
Saanich is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and all artists are invited to
apply. Proposals are reviewed as received, and successful proposals are notified.
Please Note: Arts in the Community is not seeking proposals for musical performances
as music programming is included in other Community Services Summer 2021 initiatives.
