The City of St. Catharines is now accepting applications for its 2026 Cultural Investment Program.

Two new grant streams have been added following a review of the program last year, one for individual artists and another to help with access to Performing Arts Centre facilities. 

The city has $207,720 still available for five programs, with applications due September 17 for projects starting in January 2027 or later.

The application process is also moving to a new online platform, designed to make things easier for applicants and reviewers. 

The city will also offer assistance to applicants who are deaf or have a disability and need help completing their application.
