Chalmers Arts Fellowships provide Ontario artists with a significant block of time to undertake an investigation or examination of their artistic practice instead of creating or producing work. The program provides support at a time in an artist’s career when a concentration on artistic growth will have a transformative impact on their long-term artistic development. Professional artists in all disciplines with an artistic practice of more than 10 years are eligible.  

Important: The program does not support the creation and production of artwork. For projects that include creating or producing work, see Creating and Presenting project programs. For professional development projects, see Chalmers Professional Development Projects or Skills and Careers Development: Indigenous Arts Professionals And Arts Professionals of Colour.

This program is funded by the Chalmers Family Fund, established at OAC in 1979 with donations by Floyd. S. Chalmers, Jean A. Chalmers and M. Joan Chalmers.

Deadline: June 25, 2026, 1 p.m. ET
