The City has awarded $100,000 worth of grants to organizations who deliver outstanding programs, projects and events that enhance the cultural life in Fredericton.
The annual Arts, Culture and Heritage Funding Program recognizes the vital contribution of arts, culture, and heritage to the City’s economic and social progress. Through small grants, the program has been supporting nonprofit organizations that promote and raise cultural profile in Fredericton since 2001.
“Culture opens our minds to new perspectives and greater ideas,” said Mayor Kate Rogers. “As a funder, the City helps culture and heritage organizations to realize projects that benefit Fredericton and contribute to the cultural, social and economic vitality of our community.”
Every year, applications are submitted by eligible arts, culture or heritage organizations, which are then reviewed through a jury process. This year, the City awarded 32 grants to support everything from multicultural celebrations, summer festivals, theatre and dance performances, concert series, to art and youth choral programs.
“The City values artistic and cultural expression, while recognizing the crucial role independent organizations play in building community pride, a sense of belonging, and connection to the arts,” said Angela Watson, Cultural Development Officer and Public Art Coordinator with the City of Fredericton.
