Receive feedback on an application
The feedback system is based on consultations with professional artists who have served on various juries. That process helped the CALQ develop tools for jury members to indicate how a grant application could be improved. The feedback system meets artists’ expressed need for information on how to improve their future grant applications and is in line with the CALQ’s commitment to supporting artists. Recently, the CALQ also created the CALQ grant primer This link will open in a new window, a series of videos that provide advice on writing grant applications.
The CreationThis link will open in a new window, Exploration and ResearchThis link will open in a new window, Professional Development This link will open in a new window, and Public PresentationThis link will open in a new window components of the general grant program are the first to benefit from this evaluation system including feedback. The other sections will follow later and the artists will be informed at the appropriate time. Only artists who have submitted their applications from August 27, 2022 for the Creation component, or from August 24, 2023 for the Exploration and research, Professional Development and Public presentation components will therefore benefit from this new tool. The evaluation grids used by the peer juries can be downloaded for consultation.

While one of the goals of this feedback system is to help artists with future applications, it does not guarantee a successful application in the future. The CALQ’s ability to award grants is limited by the budget available.
In the event of a disagreement over the response to your grant application, the CALQ will not tolerate any form of verbal violence, harassment, or intimidation in your communications with its team members, in keeping with its Policy for a healthy work environment This link will open in a new window. To foster constructive exchanges and guarantee a respectful, safe space for all concerned, inappropriate behaviour This link will open in a new window will result in no response.
