The City of Ottawa invests in local culture through its Cultural Funding and Awards Programs. These programs provide support to local not-for-profits, cultural organizations, professional artists and heritage workers. Cultural Funding Programs aim to support arts and heritage activities that reflect the city's many local communities including the Algonquin Anishinabe Host Nation, other First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and all people from a diversity of ancestries, abilities, ages, cultures, genders, sexuality and countries of origin.
For the 2020 Cultural Funding and Awards Programs, the City of Ottawa’s Cultural Funding Support Section (CFSS) is hosting drop-in information sessions to any questions. We encourage you to register to attend the information sessions so we can send you supporting documents after the session but registration is not required. You can also drop-in on the information sessions at any time.
