Touring Initiatives

Special Project - Touring Initiatives Guidelines

Touring Initiatives supports professional artists and arts and cultural organizations in British Columbia to develop markets outside the province or to represent British Columbia at significant national or international exhibitions or events.

Awards are available for artists’ fees and administrative salaries associated with the tour, travel and transportation of personnel and material, touring technical and production costs, installation costs for exhibitions, tour management fees, tour promotional materials, telecommunications, and tour booking fees. Applicants who have recently received assistance through the BC Arts Council may receive priority.

Applications are accepted at any time and must be received at least 8 weeks before the start of the tour. Applications are adjudicated quarterly. Contact your Program Officer for the next adjudication date.
