CKCA: APPLY NOW & JOIN US FOR A Q&A SESSION
Do you have an idea for a project that focuses on arts and culture? Grants from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) could help.
These grants—funded by Columbia Basin Trust and managed by the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council—are available for all art disciplines, for both individuals and arts and culture organizations in the Columbia Basin.
The application period is now open
CKCA’s current application period closes February 20, 2026, or March 6, 2026, depending on the program. To learn about each program and apply, click here.

Before you attend a session, we encourage you familiarize yourself with the program you’re considering applying to. To do so, select the program that interests you and navigate to that program’s page. There:
- read CKCA’s overall funding guidelines and the program-specific guidelines
- watch the program’s video (to be posted soon; keep your eye on our website!).
Afterwards, come to the Q&A session with your questions.
If you have questions about your specific project, rather than the programs themselves, contact us directly instead of asking them during a session.
