About this scholarship
Ontario resident emerging craft artists and curators in the early years of their careers (typically up to eight years of professional experience) may apply for research, creation, and career development funding. Enrolled students are ineligible.
Emerging artists and curators may request up to $5,000. Partial grants may be smaller than the amount requested due to limited funds.
The 2026 page listed a November 4 deadline at 1 p.m. ET through Nova. The application form opens about two months before each deadline.
The Ontario Arts Council funds craft research and creation projects across traditional and contemporary craft disciplines.
