The Government of British Columbia is investing approximately $60 million in arts and culture in 2017-18 to further support a thriving creative economy.
Within this funding, the BC Arts Council is providing $24 million to help artists and cultural organizations flourish in more than 200 communities throughout the province. The BC Arts Council draws upon the expertise of British Columbia’s arts and culture community to provide an independent peer-review adjudication process.
