IN BRIEF
CRD arts looking for good IDEAs
The CRD Arts Committee is offering IDEA (Innovate, Develop, Experiment, Access) grants, a new, three-year pilot program of flexible, small arts grants. Each IDEA grant will provide up to $1,000 in support of proposals that offer a potential arts impact within the CRD.
The first deadline is March 4 with a second deadline in June. Applicants must be registered not-for-profit organizations and based in one of the eight CRD municipalities, including Sidney, that contribute to the Arts Development Service. The application form and grant guidelines are available at www.crd.bc.ca/arts.
