The Canada Council for the Arts, the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation and The Circle on Philanthropy and Aboriginal Peoples in Canada (The Circle) are inviting Aboriginal artists, collectives and arts organizations in Canada (including collaborations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists or organizations) to submit proposals for projects that investigate and share knowledge on how the arts can contribute to the ongoing process of conciliation and reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Peoples in Canada.
The {Re}conciliation call for proposals looks to the experiences of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples to incorporate art in any and all forms as a process for dialogue, education, understanding, and ultimately, change in Canadian society. Complete proposals must be received via e-mail by 11h59 p.m. EST on Friday, July 24, 2015. Click here to download the full call for proposals.
