The program supports organizations, ad hoc groups/collectives and independent curators to present visual arts projects that exhibit, document or disseminate the work of professional Ontario visual artists and connect them with Ontario audiences, as well as programs that provide professional development for artists.

The program has four categories:

• Galleries, artist-run centres and other not-for-profit arts organizations
• Ad hoc groups and collectives
• Independent curators – presentation projects
• Independent curators – research projects

Important:

• Individual artists are not eligible to apply for creation or presentation projects.
• Projects must include the payment of professional artist fees.
• Projects and programming activities that take place in galleries or artist-run centres that receive operating grants through OAC’s visual arts section are not eligible.
