Please note that the Artist Grant Program has been incorporated to the Community Grant Program. 

The City of Port Moody's Artist Grant Program provides emerging Port Moody artists with financial assistance to help them grow their skills, experience, and art practice. Artists may apply for up to $1,000 in one-time funding to help complete a project, prepare for an exhibition, develop marketing/promotional materials, etc.
