The CAPE x County Arts Raffle

Prince Edward County’s only artist grant program needs your support! In the last seven years, we have awarded local artists over $30,000 to help advance their career aspirations through the Artist Fund. Our Artist Residency program, launched during the pandemic, also provides artists much-needed space and time to focus on their creative pursuits. We have plans to expand the potential of this program, but this is proving difficult in a moment when arts funding is drying up.

This is also a critical time for artists whose need for supports are exponentially increasing. Like the average Canadian artist in small/rural municipalities, who earns 50% less than non-artist peers ($21,600) – many Prince Edward County artists struggle to make ends meet. Our grant and residency programs offer essential support to working artists.

To help us secure the future of our vital career development programs during these challenging times, we are turning to our community with a new fundraising opportunity!
