The Indigenous Pathways Initiative – Arts Grant Program is designed to increase participation and access to public funding by Indigenous artists in the province. The Indigenous Pathways Initiative seeks to address these issues while also increasing public access to high-quality Indigenous art.

Those familiar with the Indigenous Pathways Initiative will notice a few changes: there are no longer separate categories for traditional and contemporary artists. Both are eligible and will be assessed together.

The two program types are:

• Independent Artists Project - for artists who wish to work on their own artistic/cultural practice.
• Community Project - for artists who wish to share their art and teachings with the community through such activities as workshops.

These changes were made to the program in response to advice from grant recipients, jury panels and the Indigenous Arts Advisory Committee.

One or more of the grants provided by this program may be funded through the 2005 Canada Games Building Dreams and Champions Legacy Program: Emerging Aboriginal Artists Award. This initiative provides support to young emerging Aboriginal artists in the province who are just starting out on a career path in the arts.
