ELAN ArtEd: ArtistsInspire School Grants deadline extended to January 15, 2021!

“Arts in general are needed now more than they ever have been. It requires problem solving and thinking out of the box. It teaches technology. It promotes continuous learning. And at the core of it all is teamwork. The sky is the limit in terms of creativity and imagination.”
Videographer Chris Alsop

ELAN’s ArtEd Team recognizes that teachers’ time and energies are solicited in unprecedented ways this school year. To make inspiring Arts & Culture experiences as easy to plan as possible, we’ve developed ArtistsInspire Virtual Workshop Catalogues for Elementary & Secondary Schools and extended the grant deadline to January 15, 2021. See our catalogue of offerings or Connect with an Artist for to explore amazing possibilities for high quality, interactive virtual workshops in every discipline:

More good news – this year only our funder has agreed to help us reach as many students as possible as follows:

Schools that did not apply in Year 1 may have two grants = $3000 for one or two Artist(s)/Arts Organization experiences.
Combined Elementary/High Schools can have two grants! Many schools asked for this – please contact us to apply for your second grant.
Three Virtual campus teachers per board can apply for a grant. Contact Christie Huff at elanarted@quebec-elan.org to organize.

Want to help? Let’s work together to bring quality arts experiences to our children, youth and communities whether on-line or in-person! Forward this link to schools and teachers who may be interested or share our Facebook post with your community.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
