© 2026 Lunenburg Foundation for the Arts

LFA grants are available for both emerging and established artists in Lunenburg County across all artistic media: theatre, visual arts, dance, writing, music, fine craft, as well as multi-media and interdisciplinary projects.

 

Since 2024, the LFA, in collaboration with Petite Queer Pride, has been proud to offer the annual CLAMS grant. Funded through, and stewarded by, PQP, the CLAMS grants specifically support the practices of 2SLGBTQIA+ creatives in Lunenburg County. Starting in 2027, the LFA will continue to provide one CLAMS grant each year as part of our annual arts funding opportunities. Stay tuned for more details.
