FINANCIAL ACCESSIBILITY
> Ticketed events
Studio 303 is committed to providing access to our programming for all people who want it, regardless of their financial means. Our shows are either free or sliding scale $ 10 to 20. However, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Finally, we also offer work-for-tickets (or studio hours) trades.
> BIPOC Workshop Bursary and Artists Survival Fund
These two ongoing programs offer some financial support to artists in our community. Thanks to 2 anonymous donors we offer 10+ workshop bursaries to artists who need financial assistance and who identify as Indigenous, Black, and/or as a person of colour. Meanwhile Studio 303’s Artists’ Survival Fund provides emergency funds to current or recent artists in residence. Established in 2018, the fund is financed by our annual donors. More information available here.
We recognize that these programs do not support all of the artists in our community. If you experience barriers to accessing any of our events, workshops, or services please contact info@studio303.ca.
