Here’s How to Get Some Funding From the City of Mississauga
Published August 30, 2018 at 5:55 pm
It’s hard to eke out a living as an artist, especially in places where people don’t often expect to find great art (although if they look, they’ll be pleasantly surprised).
For that reason, a number of Mississauga residents might be happy to hear that the city has launched its 2019 Culture and Community Grants Program.
The City of Mississauga recently announced that applications are officially being accepted.
Mississauga-based arts, culture and community organizations who require city funding for next year are encouraged to apply. The deadline for grant applications is Friday, October 12, 2018, at 4:30 p.m.
Culture Program Guidelines can be found here and Community Grant Program Guidelines can be found here.
All applications must be submitted online here.
