Over 27,000 people have engaged in works supported through two new equity arts grants, since these funding programs started a couple years ago. The Share and Connect: Indigenous Community Arts Program, launched in 2022, has supported more than 28 Indigenous artists with activity reaching over 14,700 people.

The Building Arts Equity: BPOC program, launched in 2023, has supported 22 artists who are Black or People of Colour, whose activities reached approximately 12,500 people. Both of these grants, developed through community participation, are offered through SK Arts. Check SK Arts' website for more information.
