The Province has released a new five-year culture action plan. It aims to build a sustainable arts, culture and creative sector through four key areas:
- Creating Access and Belonging;
- Achieving Excellence and Professionalism;
- Stewarding Heritage and Traditions; and,
- Investing in our Future.
As part of the renewed plan, the PEI Arts Grants will be doubled to $100,000 during each call for proposals to help support more local artists. Innovation PEI will also be launching the new Prince Edward Island Arts Award program to celebrate artistic merit and excellence. Nominations are open online and will be accepted until October 25th.
