Trellis Micro-grants

The Trellis Micro-grant project, supported by The Department of Canadian Heritage’s Official Languages Support Programs, seeks to highlight English-language arts and artists to make them visible to a broader community, and build bridges between Québec’s English-speaking minority and Francophone majority. The Trellis Micro-grant project launched in the winter of 2024 and the calls for submissions for the first year of funding closed in February 2025. Two more years of funding are upcoming.

Projects supported are those that seek to strengthen the English-language community sense of belonging in Quebec, though arts and culture.  Projects must seek to increase intra- and inter-community appreciation and provide more opportunities for cooperation. The goal of the funding is the promotion of the English-speaking artistic communities’ contributions to Québec’s development and/or to create more opportunities to bring the English- and French-speaking communities closer together.
