RBC Emerging Artists Project

In plain language

Funds arts organizations that help early-career artists bridge from emerging to established — residencies, mentorships, exhibitions, tours. Individual artists cannot apply; the money goes to the hosting charity (gallery, theatre, music org, publisher). Applications accepted year-round. Good NL partners: The Rooms, LSPU Hall, Eastern Edge Gallery, Sound Symposium, RCA Theatre. Grant sizes vary widely ($5K up to ~$75K) based on program scope. For NL artists: look for residency/exhibition opportunities hosted by RBC-funded partners.
