Surrey, BC – At Monday’s regular Council meeting, City Council approved nearly $500,000 in grants that will benefit Surrey’s arts, cultural and community organizations. The City of Surrey’s Cultural Grants Program has been in place since 2012 to support a wide range of arts and cultural activity, including music, dance, theatre, heritage, cultural celebrations and community outreach.
“Arts, culture, and heritage are critical for a thriving and vibrant City, particularly during these times,” said Councillor Laurie Guerra, Chair of the Parks, Recreation & Culture Committee. “I am so pleased that our cultural grants program will once again fund so many exciting cultural experiences in Surrey in 2022. I encourage you to get out and safely support all of the programs and events being offered by our talented arts and culture sector.”
The 2022 Cultural Grants range from $1,000 to $25,000. View the full list of this year’s grant’s recipients. New in 2022, is enhanced operating grant funding, as well as the Surrey Civic Theatres Rental In-Kind Subsidy, which offers a value of up to $2,000 of assistance to non-profit, professional arts and cultural organizations.
