EC3 is hiring for two Canada Summer Jobs positions and getting prepped for our AGM, the City of Peterborough has opened their Community Investment and Project Grants programs, the Ontario Arts Council has new funding, and more.

Read all about it in our latest Bulletin. And to keep up-to-the-minute on all the latest arts news and EC3 happenings, keep checking the EC3 Facebook page, @ECThreePtbo on Twitter, @ec3ptbo on Instagram, and the EC3 website, where we are providing daily updates on programs and services available for ACH workers and organizations.

EC3 is Hiring

Are you between 18 and 30 years old? Do you want to help plan and execute one of the true highlights of the Peterborough arts calendar? It’s a rewarding and fun project to work on, and we need a couple of dynamos to make it shine.

The Peterborough Arts Awards and Mayor’s Luncheon for the Arts are returning in 2022, and EC3 is hiring two positions to make it a reality: a Production Coordinator and a Marketing & Communications Associate. These are 8-week positions supported by the Canada Summer Jobs program, that will help EC3 staff and Board to make this iconic Peterborough event happen once again.

Head to our website for the full job description, then send your resume and cover letter to ec3.jobs@gmail.com. Application deadline is Tuesday, November 30 at 5:00pm.

Save the Date: EC3 Annual General Meeting 2021

EC3’s Annual General Meeting is coming up December 2. Full announcement and per-registration for the online event coming later this week, but mark it in your calendars.

And, if you are interested in voting at the AGM, make sure your membership is up to date.

Community Investment and Project Grants

The City of Peterborough has opened applications for its Community Project Grants and Community Investment Grants programs for 2022. The Project Grants provide $250 to $1,000 for specific projects in the community, and the Investment Grants provide $1,000 to $15,000 to local organizations for more general support, including events and operating funds. The deadline for both programs is Friday, December 3, 2021 at 3 p.m. Details here.

New OAC Funding Programs

The Ontario Arts Council (OAC) has announced Career Catalyst: Project Grants for New Generation Artists, a new, one-time, $1-million grant program for professional artists aged 18 to 30. Grants are set at $2,000 each, and the application deadline is December 16, 2021. Details here.

Also keep an eye out for OAC’s Indigenous Arts Support Program, which will provide $4 million in project grants for Indigenous artists. This was announced as part of the same announcement as the young artists grant, but isn’t yet available. We will have more updates as they come in.

Upcoming Grant Deadlines
