Art for People

Art for People was created by two KATI graduates: Martine Bédard and Andy Holmes, and is an initiative overseen by KATI. Art for People continues to fundraise to support creative projects around the world.

Art for People Community Grants

These grants are intended to support creative community projects and to support groups or individuals doing grassroots community work. Projects attempting to promote individual and community well-being through the creative expressive arts will be considered.

Other criteria that will be considered are:

• Projects that are planned with other community partners;

• Cultural sensitivity to the community’s needs;

• Projects that lay the groundwork for the potential of continued programming; 

• Creativity in breadth and depth;

• Initiatives that incorporate art/craft making into establishing a marketable product for individuals and communities to achieve more sustainability;

• Contributions to social change and justice through bringing art therapy to the global community.

Please note that grant money is available only for art supplies, program supplies and programming costs. Grant applications will be reviewed by the Art for People Projects committee. Grant applications take up to 30 days to process.
