NEW Program Officer:

The BC Arts Council is pleased to welcome Nadine Carew to the Arts and Cultural Development Branch. She takes on responsibilities as Program Officer on Feb. 15, joining the team that supports the arts community across the province.
Nadine has a background in arts administration in Vancouver, working with theatre, dance and membership organizations regionally, nationally and internationally. Her most recent position was general manager of Green Thumb Theatre, prior to which she served as tour manager for that organization.
She began her career in arts administration working for Judith Marcuse Dance Projects as the artist liaison for EARTH: World Urban Festival. Over the past decade, she has sat on boards and committees of various organizations including the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres, the International Performing Arts for Youth Society, Out Inner Space Dance and the Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards Society.
A strong advocate for the arts and culture sector, Nadine received the protégé Mallory Gilbert Award for Excellence in Leadership in 2015.

NEW Final Reports can now be emailed:

Completed and signed Final Reports can now be scanned and submitted by email to BCArtsCouncil@gov.bc.ca. Clients may also continue to mail them to:

PO Box 9819, Stn Prov Govt,
Victoria, BC, V8W 9W3.

Forms can be found here.

NEW Reporting Requirements:

Reporting requirements for all Project Assistance and Individual Arts Awards programs have been revised. Effective June 30, 2016, applicants with overdue final reports will be ineligible to apply to BC Arts Council Project Assistance and Individual Arts Awards programs. Project Assistance or Individual Arts Awards submissions from applicants with overdue final reports will be disqualified before adjudication.
Final reports must be submitted within 30 days of project completion. End dates for BCAC funded projects currently in progress must be kept up to date to ensure eligibility for future grant competitions. Changes to project end dates should be requested prior to the original project end date.

NEW Enhanced Capacity:

Beginning in the fall of 2016, organizations receiving Operating Assistance will be able to apply for new Enhanced Capacity support, concurrent with their extended cycle intake application. This funding is intended to help organizations build capacity and respond to strategic priorities, challenges and opportunities and will offer enhanced support for operations for the duration of the funding cycle. This approach allows flexibility in response to organizations’ fluctuations in cycles of activity or capacity needs, while still providing stable, base operating support.
