Call for nominations: the Gerda Hnatyshyn Launch Grants for Performing Artists

The Hnatyshyn Foundation is accepting nominations for the Gerda Hnatyshyn Launch Grants - a series of grants intended to support a project by Canadian performing artist in early career whose practices show exceptional promise. One grant of $10,000 is awarded annually in each of the following disciplines: Classical Music (instrumental or vocal), Contemporary Music (instrumental or vocal), Contemporary Dance (performance or choreography), English Theatre, and French Theatre (performance or production).
