Granting Renewal
Calgary Arts Development announced, in July 2007, an important step towards strengthening resources for the arts in Calgary: the start of a process to renew and strengthen our granting programs. Through renewal we hope to support and encourage the tremendous growth of Calgary's arts sector by building the best municipal granting system in the country.
Building a strong program for the future will require us to take a series of actions in the short-term to ensure an appropriate amount of time to consult the community, develop new systems, align our resources and ultimately implement any new programs that result. Changes to the operating grants program are not something we take lightly, and our goal is to ensure minimal disruption for Calgary's arts organizations.
The attached booklet describes in detail how we will be moving forward with the renewal process. As always, we invite you to contact us directly to express any thoughts, questions or comments that you have. For questions directly related to the renewal process and your grant, please contact Karen Ball, Director of Community Investment, or Holly Simon, Community Investment Officer, at 264-5330 or grants@calgaryartsdevelopment.com. read more »

Logos
Before applying the Calgary Arts Development logo, please review our logo usage guidelines:
Granting Clients:
Please begin using Calgary Arts Development's logo instead of the Calgary Region Arts Foundation logo on materials that will be distributed after October 31, 2006.If you've already used the CRAF logo on your materials, that's ok! We understand that it will take some time to make the change on all your flyers, posters, programs, handbills, websites and so on. But you should begin using the Calgary Arts Development logo on all of your new materials as soon as possible.
Funding for Calgary Arts Development's granting programs is provided by the City of Calgary, which currently allocates approximately $3 million annually in funding for the arts. If you have received funds from Calgary Arts Development, please ensure you recognize both Calgary Arts Development and the City of Calgary in all of your promotional materials. Whenever possible, logos for the City of Calgary and Calgary Arts Development should be placed side by side to recognize that funding has been provided by the City of Calgary through Calgary Arts Development.
If you have any questions, please contact us at grants@calgaryartsdevelopment.com or call the office at 264-5330.
