Applications will be evaluated on the following weighted criteria:
Core team must have a minimum of four members. There is no maximum. A minimum of three members of your core team must be residents of the neighbourhood.
Primary Stream: For projects addressing any topic. Successful projects will receive $1,500 in support funding, and additional funds for artist fees if you are working with an artist.
Climate Stream: For projects that contribute to climate resilience and sustainability in your neighbourhood. Support funding can range from $1,000 to 10,000, with a total of $10,000 allocated to this funding stream. Final funding decisions will balance project impact with the available budget.
Please indicate which category your project is applying for:
Your core team will attend a series of workshops. Workshops will run from January to March. If you need or want to send other neighbours to the workshops to represent your project, you are welcome to.
Proposed Location(s) of your project. Please be as specific as possible. (ex. Where in the park will your installation be? What street intersection will you paint?)
If you will be working with a professional artist we recommend planning to have your artist attend 1 to 3 of your engagement sessions with your neighbourhood. The artist should be prepared to use input from the neighbourhood to create their draft design. Results are best when they present their design to the neighbourhood in person for feedback. The Core Team will also need to give HRM the draft design for approval. The artist will make themselves available for edits.
Primary Stream projects are funded at $1,500 each. If your group is collaborating with an artist, you may be eligible for additional funds for artist fees.
Through the Climate Stream up to $10,000 will be awarded across selected projects. Each successful Climate Stream project can receive funding between $1,000 and $10,000. Final funding decisions will balance project impact with the available budget.
