Arts Education
Supporting the new generation of artists.
The purpose of Quinte Arts Council’s arts education, awards, and bursaries program is to fulfill several key objectives:
- Provide Quality Arts Education: Deliver high-quality visual and performing arts training directly to students in grades K to 12 within local schools in the Quinte Area. This initiative aims to enhance students’ artistic skills, creativity, and appreciation for the arts within their educational environment.
- Promote Cultural Diversity and Inclusion: Educate students about the importance of cultural diversity and inclusion within the arts. Through exposure to diverse artistic traditions and perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for different cultures, fostering empathy, respect, and cross-cultural understanding.
- Support Post-Secondary Education in the Arts: Encourage and support students interested in pursuing post-secondary education in an arts-related field. By providing bursaries and awards, the program aims to alleviate financial barriers and empower aspiring artists to further their education and pursue their artistic passions at the collegiate level.
- Recognize Contributions to Arts and Culture: Acknowledge and celebrate individuals within our community who have made significant contributions to arts and culture. Through recognition awards, the program honors the dedication, talent, and impact of individuals who have enriched the cultural landscape of the Quinte Area.
It is important to note that all applications for these projects undergo thorough review by Quinte Arts Council’s Arts Education, Awards, and Bursaries Committee. While every effort is made to fulfill funding requests, the council operates within the constraints of limited resources. Consequently, grants awarded may be smaller than the amount requested. Priority is given to underserved applicant schools, ensuring equitable access to arts education resources within the community.
