ArtsPond is delighted to announce open calls for two new creative fellowships: I Love My Gig Ontario and Caring Cultures.
These two paid, online, 12-week programs run from late February to May 2025. While different age and location requirements apply for each program, they are both open to creatives from all disciplines who self-identify as Indigenous, Racialized, D/deaf, Disabled, or live in suburban, rural, or remote communities. No special expertise is required – just a willingness to reflect on past challenges and imagine pathways to a better future. Fellows will receive a fee, creative mentorship, and access support for their participation. Personal projects created during the fellowship will be published online at artspond.com. Applications close December 13, 2024 at 5 pm Eastern.
Fellowship highlights:
- Open to creatives from all regions of Ontario who are 18 years of age or older
- $2,000 fee with creative mentorship and peer support
- Focus will be to produce a creative project that shares stories and suggestions to strengthen access to care in a post-pandemic future in and through arts and culture
- Open to creatives in and around Toronto and Hamilton who are 18 to 35 years of age (including the surrounding regions between Kitchener-Waterloo to Markham in the north, and Brantford to Bowmanville in the south)
- $3,000 fee with creative mentorship and peer support
- Focus will be to produce a creative project that shares stories and suggestions to drive youth-led social change and community care in and through arts and culture
