Arts Carleton Place is pleased to offer three funding opportunities for Carleton Place based artists and students, with funds generated from previous fundraising events. There will be one award of $1000.00 distributed to an artist within our community, and two awards of $500.00 each given to high school students (one award for each of our local high schools). It is our hope that these awards will enable individual artists, and students, with an opportunity to enhance their creativity, growth, education and base of knowledge within their chosen art form.
