ABORIGINAL ARTS DEVELOPMENT AWARDS (AADA) 2007-08
CALL FOR PROPOSALS – DEADLINE NOVEMBER 30, 2007
Since 1996 the First Peoples’ has delivered the Aboriginal
Arts Development Awards program through a partnership with the BC Arts Council,
and more recently 2010 Legacies Now has made a strategic investment in the
program, specifically to support development of Aboriginal art organizations.
First Nations and Aboriginal artists, arts and culture
organizations and established unincorporated collectives can submit proposals
for projects that support the creative or professional development of emerging
Aboriginal artists or build their capacity through activities such as:
- Mentorships
and training
- Developing
a history of public presentation
- Devoting
more time to the creation of new work
- Enhancing
an arts and culture organization’s activities
- Building
organizational capacity and sustainability
- Enhancing
connections to other arts organizations or networks
A Peer Assessment Committee composed of impartial and
established Aboriginal experts, thoroughly and fairly reviews, discusses and
evaluates all proposals and makes final recommendations for funding.
Last year, 70 proposals were submitted and 23 individuals
and 17 groups or organizations received a total of $298,620.
The annual application deadline for the AADA is November
30. Applications must be postmarked before or on the deadline date.
Offering guidance to applicants through the application
process remains a priority for the First Peoples’ Arts Program – so if you have
any questions about applying or the attached guidelines and application forms,
please feel free to call us at 250-652-5952 and speak with either Cathi Charles
Wherry or Lou-ann Neel.
