Indigenous Arts Projects – DEADLINE: 2026/04/23 & 2026/10/06

Indigenous Arts Projects is a multidisciplinary program supporting professional Indigenous artists, ad hoc groups, collectives, and organizations to research, develop, and create new work. The presentation and sharing of Indigenous artistic work and initiatives strengthens and enriches the arts and culture overall, while benefiting both Indigenous artists and their communities.

The program is open to emerging, mid-career, and established Indigenous artists and arts professionals. It welcomes applicants working in both customary/traditional and contemporary Indigenous art expression.

Indigenous OAC staff members administer the program, and applications are assessed by juries comprised of Indigenous artists.

Deadlines to Apply April 23 and October 6, 2026, 1 p.m. ET

The application form will be available in Nova about two months before the deadline.
