Island artists receive grants

December 7, 2022 – Government of PEI: Elizabeth Iwunwa says receiving an arts grant feels like a pat on the back.

Iwunwa is among 13 Island artists who recently received a total of $50,000 through the provincial Arts Grants program.

“Artists often have to choose between either creating meaningful work by bringing esoteric, abstract ideas down to earth or shelving those ideas to focus on more practical livelihood concerns,” says Iwunwa. “For me, receiving this grant feels like a pat on the back, and is an encouragement to win hearts and change minds through the ideas that stories embody. Ultimately, it shows that there is a commitment to arts and culture not only within the community, but also at the highest levels.”

The successful applicants were selected by a six-member jury of their arts community peers and follows the same model used by the Canada Council of Arts.

“These grants have a positive impact on Island artists, our cultural sector, and provincial economy, and we’re so proud to support that,” says Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture Minister Bloyce Thompson. “Congratulations to all the artists, we look forward to seeing your vision come to fruition.”
