Hardship Membership

Every artist should be a member of the Kamloops Arts Council Membership. Understanding that some may not have the financial means to purchase an annual membership, we offer assistance to artists experiencing financial hardship.

Upon review of your application, artists who are eligible may qualify for a discounted or free Kamloops Arts Council membership for up to one year, with opportunity to extend. The hardship membership bursary is available for up to 3% of our existing membership count. Should the amount of applications for the financial hardship exceed 3% per calendar year, a further review process will need to take place before further applications may be granted.
