Pat the Dog Theatre Creation is delighted to announce a continuation of our Microgrants Pilot Program for Waterloo Region artists for 2021. This has been made possible through a generous allocation of $35,000 from the City of Waterloo ($20,000) and Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation ($15,000). The $35,000 is double the amount allocated for 2021 ($17,500) and represents the success of the pilot in 2020 whereby 35 Waterloo Region artists benefited, instigating the creation of new works of art.

Microgrants instigate and spark the first idea of a new art work. This ‘kick-start’ is essential more than ever during the pause this pandemic has created for our local artists who depend on live gatherings to exhibit and perform their work.  These grants will aide professional artists in investigation of their practice, with a focus on process, iterative learning, collaboration, and deep thinking. This program is a response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity for artists to continue to delve into and develop their practice in imaginative and innovative ways.

Eligibility: Artist must be a resident of Waterloo Region. All artistic disciplines are welcome.

Applications Open: October 12, 2021
