About
Featuring arts and culture funders from municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Presented in celebration of Ontario Culture Days 2026.
Join Work in Culture and our partners for a dynamic session with arts and culture funders from the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Presented in celebration of Ontario Culture Days 2026.
This session will feature a panel discussion focused on current funding opportunities and how you can strengthen your grant applications - from shaping your project idea to building a clear and realistic budget.
This is an opportunity to connect directly with funders, gain insight into current funding priorities, and better understand application processes across different levels of support.
Participants will have the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and begin building relationships with our featured funders.
The session will conclude with a dedicated networking period, offering time to connect informally with your peers, exchange ideas, and expand your professional network.
This is free of charge with pre-registration encouraged to secure a spot.
Guest speakers bios coming soon!
