About the Program

The OAC Multi and Inter-Arts Projects Program supports the creation, production and presentation of multi- and inter-arts activities by professional Ontario artists, ad hoc groups, collectives and organizations working in all art forms and initiatives that benefit the professional multi- and inter-arts community.

Multi and inter-arts activities are practices, initiatives and events that have two or more artistic forms present in equal balance in the creation, production and presentation of work. Artistic forms may remain separate or can be combined to create new, unified forms. Multi and inter-arts activities involve bringing art forms together in new ways. This grant program has four categories:

• Creation
• Production & Presentation
• Series/Festivals
• Development Initiatives
