The EOI must:

  • Demonstrate capacity to deliver creative projects
  • Include detailed budget outlining how funds will be used

What won’t be accepted?

  • Proposals that do not address the themes identified
  • Private business proposals or tuition
  • Programs that have no community participation or engagement
  • Programs that involve excessive noise
  • Applications from artists/collectives that owe money to Council
  • Large events
