The program supports professional development for Ontario artists who want to gain new artistic skills – or improve existing skills – and advance their arts practice at any stage of their career. It funds all contemporary and traditional art practices that OAC supports in other project programs.

All learning must be led by a specialist who gives feedback throughout the training period. Specialists include mentors, teachers, trainers and Elders. Projects may include study, training, mentorship, internship, apprenticeship, or any combination of these activities.

Applications for this program will open on 14 September 2024.
