The City of Kingston Arts Fund (CKAF) Review
To ensure CKAF continues to support Kingston arts organizations, projects, artists and the public, the City is undertaking a review of the granting program. It is expected the CKAF Review will consider the program mandate, objectives, outputs, and reporting and evaluation mechanisms, and consider other potential changes such as an expansion beyond the current focus on operating and project grants and/or streamlining existing CKAF grant streams.
Learn more about the City of Kingston Arts Fund review.
The next phase of public engagement has launched and includes a survey, one-on-one interviews, community focus groups, pop-ups, and an open house.
Please note: the survey link will redirect you from the project page to the survey hosted by Saffy, an external consultant on the project.
The community advisory group, made up of community members selected through an open application process, will be supporting the engagement as project champions, and details will be announced.
