Program funding to strengthen BC arts organizations

From 2004 to 2009, the Catalyst program provided funding support for BC arts, cultural and heritage organizations wishing to enhance their artistic and administrative capabilities.


A more sustainable arts and culture sector in BC

Over the past five years, Catalyst invested more than $2 million in 164 community projects supporting BC organizations in developing their artistic and administrative strengths through one of four funding streams: developing audiences and markets; consultancies; mentorships; and website development.

Since the originally intended investment for Catalyst totalling $2 million was dispersed as of this year, 2010 Legacies Now will no longer continue this arts program funding.  2010 Legacies Now is pleased to have met the following objectives through its Catalyst community projects and would like to acknowledge support from its numerous Advisory Panels in helping to reach these objectives:

  • Strengthened the arts sector’s economic base and organizational capacity
  • Strengthened the arts sector’s ability to build artistic excellence
  • Strengthened the arts sector’s ability to establish strategic alliances

A stronger arts and cultural sector was a legacy development of the Catalyst program.
