Cultural Industry Grant Program

The Cultural Industry Grant Program supports Alberta-based book publishing, magazine publishing, and sound recording companies. Funding is also available for small film and video projects that are ineligible for Alberta Production Program Grant funding.

These organizations engage in the development, production and distribution of creative products, specifically books, magazines of a literary, artistic, or children's interest and sound recordings, and form one of the four pillars of The Spirit of Alberta, Alberta's cultural policy.

The intent of these program streams is to support cultural industry producers that focus on finding and developing talent and intellectual property, creating high quality product and ensuring that all Albertans have the opportunity to access the product that public funding helped create.

All applications are assessed by an Expert Panel that prepare funding recommendations for the Minister. These funding recommendations serve as one element of the assessment process for the operating streams and the primary element for the project stream. Expert Panel Assessment Tools used by Expert Panel members are available in the Forms section.
