Staff from the Canada Council for the Arts and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) join us for a professional development session on their programs and ways to access funding. The Council has undergone a considerable expansion in its funding processes for Canadian artists. SSHRC has completed the funding round for the Knowledge Synthesis Grant: Arts Transformed and there will be discussion on developments from this initiative. This session will be an opportunity to explore funding options provided by the Council and SSHRC and professional artist development support by the Council, and discuss the funders’ views on trends in arts-based practice and research for Canadian artists and scholars.
