Deadline to apply: DEC 1
Project Grants support professional visual artists who contribute to contemporary visual arts for research/creation, production, and career development. The project must be significant and advance the long-term artistic practice, dissemination of the artist’s work, or career development of the applicant at a key moment in their career.
There are three types of project grants:
– Research/Creation: This type of grant allows for a period of independent research at a key moment in the artistic practice of the applicant. The project must demonstrate the capacity to advance the artistic practice of the artist.
– Production: This grant supports production costs of one or more works where there is at least one confirmed public presentation of the work(s) in a professional visual arts context. The project must demonstrate the capacity to advance the career of the artist.
– Career Development: This grant supports the development of an artist’s career through development activities and/or the growth of a professional network with partners such as critics, curators or art dealers. This can be done in conjunction with the development of tools such as websites, portfolios and small monographs. The applicant must demonstrate that the project occurs in a key period with regard to its impact on the progression of his or her career.
Applicants may apply to only ONE of the above project grant types per deadline.
For additional information, please consult the Canada Council for the Arts website.

is it Friday already? Oh dear indeed. I just realized I haven’t posted since tuesday and have no site 2 see friday post for you all today either. Sadly it a sign of where my head is at these days. Craft sale mode. We got buried in with snow all day yesturday which is going to make my car packing and uploading today a bit hectic and well, bloody cold and wet. Hopefully the crowds of shoppers won’t stay home.
Today is sale number 3 of 5 and it’s a big one. I’m honored to be included in this year’s Artisans. There’s going to be so much great stuff there it’ll be hard not to spend my hard earned dollars. Do stop by if you’re in the area.
And I promise i’ll stop being a blog slacker as soon as craft sale season is over….

“tradition is not just repetition, but is made with layers of present moments.
spanish designer jaime hayón has designed a range of porcelain tableware for traditional japanese porcelain company choemon, in collaboration with japanese product design brand maruwakaya.
for the first time on show in tokyo earlier this month was the ‘kamide choemon – gama for jaime hayòn collection‘, a series of tableware with delicate japanese ornaments, elements freely interpreted and translated by hayon into actors of a contemporary table setting scenery.”
