Arts Leadership Awards
The Arts Leadership Awards and WEA Arts Grants Program is designed to award leadership in the arts and provide arts grants for the professional and creative development of our artistic community. The recipients of these awards and grants are nominated and selected by a jury process, awarded and celebrated by the entire community.
In summary, the program is multidisciplinary and has four main goals:
- To honour, recognize and celebrate the excellence of the arts and the long-standing contributions of its members in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
- To support the arts infrastructure of the region by granting organizations and art projects for professional development.
- To support the creative career development of emerging artists and furthering their practice.
- To raise public awareness of the arts as a catalyst for community building, and spotlight the arts and artists of Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
Four honourary Arts Leadership Award recipients are selected from the following award categories:
In total, 8 WEA Arts Grantees are selected from the 4 grant categories listed below, and receive a cash grant of $2,000. Each grant category has 2 classifications: one for Arts Infrastructure (art projects, organizations and businesses promoting art and artists), and the other for Emerging Artists.
