This session will start with a presentation of the funding you as an Alberta artist can access. There will be time for a general Q&amp;A after the formal presentation for you to ask your questions. Open to all artistic disciples and all levels of artistic experience are encouraged to attend.​What the Alberta Focus Initiative is: The Alberta Focus Initiative is a two-year commitment that aims to strengthen engagement and collaboration with Alberta’s vibrant arts community, as well as to deepen the Council’s understanding of the community’s unique realities. Two Alberta-based arts liaison consultants will establish an on-the-ground presence for the Canada Council in Alberta. The consultants will engage with communities across the province to increase awareness of and access to funding opportunities and provide the Council with field intelligence. They will ensure that meaningful support is accessible to a diverse range of artists and arts organizations, particularly in communities that have been historically underserved.​​Francine Cunningham is an award-winning writer, artist and educator and is a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, in Alberta, but grew up in Calgary, Edmonton, and 100 Mile House, British Columbia. Francine is also Métis and has settler family roots stretching from as far away as Ireland and Belgium. She currently resides in rural southern Alberta where she spends her days writing and mentoring emerging artists.As part of her role with the Canada Council, Francine will have a special focus on rural Albertans, Indigenous communities both on and off reserve, and those needing extra support with understanding the granting process at the Canada Council, both virtually and in person through information sessions, webinars, and one on one visits. She looks forward to providing information on granting programs, funding opportunities, creating greater connections in the Alberta Arts ecosystem, and looking for ways to make Alberta artists voices heard.​​​
