Art Grant Detail

What will the Kids Art Grant Cover?

• This grant covers materials, consumables (fuel/ propane, batteries), fixed assets, and operational costs that are necessary for an activity, performance, or gathering. This can include costs associated with food and beverages, gifts, items needed for activities, as well as props or costumes required for performances.
• Fixed Assets (e.g. tools, structures, electronics) may be submitted, but should be specialized, essential to the functionality of the project, and should be a relatively small portion of the expense. Recall that tools and other fixed assets may be available for low-cost rental from a rental agency, or even a free loan from a community member. Don’t know a community member with a band saw? Ask on the various social media pages and email lists; people love to help!

What will the Kids Art Grant NOT Cover?

• This grant will NOT cover any labour expenses, tickets to the event, personal outfits, alcohol, cannabis, or any illegal substances in Alberta.

Who is eligible?

• Any individual under the age of 18 may apply. If the grant is approved, the applicant must attend Freezer Burn and must deliver the project according to their approved grant application. Please be aware that any significant changes to the approved application that have not received prior approval by the Art Grant Team may void the grant contract and you will not be reimbursed.

How will grants be paid?

• Successful applicants will need to have a contract signed by a parent or legal guardian in order to receive their grant. Failure to return the signed contract by May 31, 2024 will void the contract and no funds will be reimbursed.
• The grants will be paid, pending approval by the Art Finance Team, upon the completion of the project and the submission of copies of all receipts through your online grant application.
• All payments will be made via e-transfer. If you cannot receive e-transfers, you must contact freezerburnartfinance@gmail.com to arrange alternate payment options. If your contact information for reimbursement is incorrect or you need to change it after the fact, you may be responsible for any additional bank fees incurred.

You are responsible for submitting all your receipts through the online grant application by July 2, 2024 or YOU WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED. NO EXCEPTIONS! (we are not kidding!)

A failure to execute your project as proposed and bring it to Freezer Burn, or the failure to properly submit your receipts will result in the ARTery withholding your grant money and can negatively impact your eligibility for any future art grants.
