The County of Brant is offering funding for creative people to showcase their talent during Culture Days.
Organizations and individuals can get up to $1,000 to support their programs for Culture Days, happening worldwide from Sept. 20 to Oct. 13.
The county has been chosen as one of 15 Ontario Culture Days Festival Hubs. On Sept. 28, downtown Paris will transform into an artistic corridor with interactive events and immersive experiences spotlighting the county’s cultural offerings.
“We encourage creatives from across the County of Brant to take advantage of this opportunity and showcase their talents during Culture Days,” said Kayla Cicman, arts, culture and heritage officer. “Whether you’re a musician, dancer, visual artist, or historian, Culture Days is a platform for everyone to share their passion for arts, culture and heritage and contribute to the vibrancy of our county.”
Those interest in learning more about participating in Culture Days, including funding opportunities, are invited to join county staff for a free information session and workshop on Thursday, May 23 at 1 p.m. at the County of Brant council chambers, 7 Broadway St. West, in Paris. You can also participate online via Zoom. Visit brant.ca/CultureDays for more information.
The application for funding is available until June 14.
Participants can register their event on the Culture Days website at culturedays.com to gain access to support, including marketing tools, nationwide promotion and resources.
