Community-Run Public Art Microgrants

The Community-Run Public Art Microgrant Program provides a platform for communities to initiate and lead public art projects that reflect their unique identities and values. Recognizing that impactful public art often begins as grassroots ideas, this program encourages community-led organizations in Calgary/Mohkinstsis to create public art experiences in collaboration with local artists. Successful applicants receive up to $15,000 in funding to bring their artistic visions to life while engaging local artists.

This initiative encourages communities to explore themes such as Indigenous stories, social change and local histories, fostering a sense of connection and pride through public art.
