Culture Projects Grant

Each year, the Culture Projects Grant focuses on current, community-based themes.

2025 theme

The 2025 Culture Projects Grant program aims to support organizations, collectives and BIAs to create temporary, site-specific arts and culture projects that reimagine and activate urban spaces throughout the City of Mississauga. The program’s theme for 2025 is “Animating Urban Spaces.” The theme is designed to:

  • Support the presentation of art outside of traditional galleries, venues, and presentation spaces.
  • Encourage artists to explore and integrate art into urban surroundings in creative ways.
  • Activate private, non-residential spaces that otherwise do not host artistic activities, including outdoor spaces and repurposing buildings/indoor spaces.
  • Support work in many artistic mediums including theatre, dance, music, visual arts, digital arts, Indigenous arts, and more.

Who can apply

You may be eligible to apply if:

  • Your organization operates on a not-for-profit basis and is governed by volunteers or a collective with a legal entity
  • Your projects take place in Mississauga

Through this program, organizations can apply for up to 50% of their total project budget or $5,000, whichever is less.

For more information about eligibility, review the Program Guidelines (PDF).

How to apply

The 2025 Culture Projects Grants program will open on August 26, 2024.

The deadline to submit your application is October 11, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.
