Regional Artists are especially encouraged to apply! We’re actively seeking artists living outside the Greater Montreal area to serve schools in their communities. We also strongly encourage applications from BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, and underrepresented artists.
Interested Artists are encouraged to review our Teaching Artist Roster to see the variety of Artists already involved in the project!
Which artists are eligible:
Eligible Artists must identify as members of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec. Experience facilitating in education settings is required for working in schools. Having listened to educators about what is essential to this program’s success, to qualify for the ArtistsInspire School Grants Program, Artists must already have experience as facilitators of hands-on creative experiences with students and teachers in elementary and/or secondary schools.
