new/early career artist

An artist who:

• is entering, or is in the early stages of, his or her professional career in one or more fields of practice recognized by the Canada Council
• is at least 18 years old
• does not have an approved applicant profile with the Canada Council
• has not received a grant from the Canada Council before submitting this profile
• has some training, experience or accomplishment in one or more fields of practice recognized by the Canada Council (not necessarily in academic institutions)
• is committed to the ongoing development of his or her skills and artistic practice

If you are later validated for another profile, you will no longer be able to use your New/Early Career Artist profile to apply for grants.

You can receive up to 3 grants using your New/Early Career Artist profile. After receiving 3 grants, your New/Early Career Artist profile will be deactivated. Should you wish to continue to apply for grants, you will need to create and submit a professional profile.
