Each year, the Culture Projects Grant focuses on current, community-based themes.
2026 theme
Themed “Art and the Environment”, the 2026 Culture Projects Grant Program supports artistic projects from organizations, collectives and BIAs that explore, interpret, or respond to environmental themes.
Projects must be arts-based and demonstrate a clear connection to environmental themes or practices. Examples of projects relevant to the theme include, but are not limited to:
- Installations on private, non-residential property that highlight local environmental concerns
- Community-engaged art that invites residents to explore or act on environmental issues
- Performance, media or digital art that creatively interprets topics of environmental justice
- Collaborative projects between arts organizations and local environmental organizations
- The re-exhibition/re-mounting of previously created visual art or creative re-use of its materials for a new space or context
- Projects that explore the relationship between environmental issues and diverse or under-represented communities in Mississauga
- Indigenous-led projects that centre land, ecology and stewardship
