Grant Writing for Artists

Tuesday 14 July 2026, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Via Zoom
Free & Open to Everyone

Don’t know where to start with grants or want to polish your grant writing skills? This Kingston Arts Council workshop, facilitated by Peter Kingstone from the Toronto Arts Council, will help you with this important skill as an Artist!

Through this workshop you’ll gain an understanding of grant questions and writing clear, concise responses that effectively communicate project ideas and capacity. Find out what jurors are looking for and how to make your application stand out. Learn how to clearly communicate your artistic practice and the project you’re producing. Define the value that your work will bring to the local community, validating your suitability for funding.

Grant writing doesn’t have to be daunting! Register today to secure your spot.

Registration is free and open to artists of all disciplines.

Q(WE'RE) Closing Reception

Thursday 16 July 2026, 6:00 - 9:00 PM
The KAC Office | Tett Centre, 370 King Street West
Free & Open to Everyone

Join us for the final night of Harvey Tolentino Doniego's Pride exhibition, Q(WE'RE). This is a night about showing up and being seen.

Dress fun, dress camp, dress like yourself. We'll watch Fire Island, work together on a community paper weaving piece using kraft paper and pens, and share a few words from Harvey about their art practice and how this exhibition celebrates both Pride and Filipino Heritage Month.

There's also a little red heart box collecting answers to two questions that might shape Harvey's next piece: what's your queer armour, and what does your queer future look like?

Refreshments provided to keep the good times going. Tickets are free, but please RSVP.

Pride comes from community, and this is ours. Come sit with us!
