Project Assistance: Community Arts Organizations supports the development of artistic projects of community-based arts and cultural organizations in British Columbia to increase community participation in the arts.

Awards are intended to improve the artistic standards of community-based arts through the creation or hosting of quality, innovative work that provides rich engagement between artists and participants or communities and reduces or eliminates barriers to public engagement in the arts. May include creation of original work, remounting of existing repertoire or exhibitions, critical documentation, exploration of diverse art forms, skill development, and organizational development.
