Who it's intended for

Details
First Nations, Inuit and Metis artists, cultural carriers, arts professionals, groups and organizations, for travel at least 100 km by invitation to events, research, new markets or audiences. Organizations with a core grant cannot apply, and touring existing work goes to other components.

Source checked against the funder's website on November 2, 2026. Amount is set by fixed travel rates that were not shown on the page. The program page mentioned a travel blackout period without dates - could not confirm whether one applies now. Always confirm current details with the funder.

Still to confirm

A profile match does not check every requirement. Confirm these points on the funder's page before applying.

  • Whether the current intake is accepting applications, and its exact cutoff time and timezone.
  • First Nations, Inuit and Metis artists, cultural carriers, arts professionals, groups and organizations, for travel at least 100 km by invitation to events, research, new markets or audiences. Organizations with a core grant cannot apply, and touring existing work goes to other components.
  • Any registration, membership or previous-funding restrictions.
  • Which costs are covered and what supporting documents are needed.
