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.
