Local artist gone but not forgotten

It is our sad news to announce that local artist Helen Purvis passed away recently. She was a long time member of Brampton Arts Council and Beaux-Arts Brampton. We offer our deepest condolences to her loved ones.

Alan always brightened our day...

A memorial was held January 12, 2013 for Alan Sutter. Alan was a valuable employee of the City of Brampton working at Central Public School next door to us. He looked after our needs at the Brampton Arts Council and always brightened our day when he was here. He was a lovely person who will be greatly missed.

So You Want To Go For A Grant?"

REGISTRAION BEGINS January 7, 2013.

Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013

7 - 9 PM at the

Brampton Golf Club

Overview: This interactive session will introduce the basics of preparing a grant application geared to culture based funders. It will show you how to research appropriate funding sources, and how to structure your project to take advantage of existing funds. We will also review current funding deadlines. We will go in depth into the components of applications, including types of funding sources, proof of eligibility, proposal narrative, work plans, objectives and deliverables, and budgeting.

Telling a concise story about your organization or career can lead to funding without compromising your artistic goals. Building a relationship with funders can inspire two-way relationships that will put you ahead of the game.
