When the Arts Council of New Westminster took a leading role in a cultural mapping project for the city, it never dreamed it would impact its other grant requests.
The arts council launched a grant application in 2012 for the cultural mapping project, and received $25,000 for the project that’s also being spearheaded by Douglas College and the City of New Westminster.
When applying for funding for its contributions to RiverFest 2013, the arts council discovered it didn’t qualify for additional grants.
The Arts Council of New Westminster recently sought a one-time grant of $4,500 from the City of New Westminster to help it fulfill its commitments to RiverFest. Council approved the request.
