Innovations

From 2005 to 2009, the Innovations program supported new community projects that expanded community engagement and participation in arts and cultural activity. Innovations provided funding support to BC arts, culture and heritage organizations, alone or in partnership, to create new opportunities for residents to engage in these activities for a sustained period of time.

Following the final Innovations intake on October 14, 2009, 2010 Legacies Now will have dispersed all of its originally intended $2 million investment for Innovations and will no longer continue the program funding.  Innovations has invested in 195 community projects around the province. Through these community projects, 2010 Legacies Now has met the following objectives and would like to acknowledge the support of its numerous Advisory Panels:

• Increased community engagement in creative activities
• Strengthened the arts sector’s ability to build artistic excellence
• Strengthened the arts sector’s ability to establish alliances

Successful recipients and community projects from the October 14, 2009 intake include:
