Fostering Arts and Culture in Alberta

The Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) is the primary arts resource and grant funding body in Alberta.

Learn how the AFA is working towards its goal of full and equal participation in the arts in Alberta.

AFA funding opportunities provide support for Alberta arts organizations and individual artists through a variety of granting programs.

The AFA collects, manages and shares the largest collection of visual artwork by Albertan artists anywhere in the world.

Two of Kainai artist Faye HeavySheild’s installation artworks, blood and homecoming, from the AFA’s Art Collection have been selected for Bold Women.
