Art Grant Detail

What will the Great Migration Grant Cover?

• This grant covers transportation expenses with 80% of the funding being put towards gas.
• Up to 20% of the grant can be put towards trailer/rentals. This expense must be clearly outlined in the proposed budget or the expense may be refused.

What will the Great Migration 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 artist from outside the Alberta Core (Calgary, Edmonton and surrounding areas).
• Any individual or established group may apply. For teams or groups, please have only one person submit an application for the group, preferably the person in charge of the team. If the grant is approved, the applicant(s) 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 sign a contract in order to receive their grant. Failure to return the signed contract by May 15, 2025 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, 2025 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.
