Subsidy Program

SAW Video is offering 5 fully subsidized places in workshops over the course of the year. The subsidies will cover 100% of the cost of one workshop as well as a one-year basic membership to SAW Video. This is a great opportunity for low-income emerging or established artists to receive training and become involved in the centre. To apply for the subsidy, please send a brief letter (1 page) describing which workshop you would like to take and why you would benefit from the training as an artist or independent creator. Applicants may wish to identify as low income or state why they are unable to afford the regular cost of a workshop at this time. This program is open both to existing SAW Video members and to the general public.

The deadline for the subsidy is rolling. We will receive requests throughout the year and grant the subsidies on an as-needed basis.

Letters may be emailed directly to: access@sawvideo.com or delivered in person Monday - Friday from 11am - 6pm. We also accept requests by mail. Subsidies carry no cash value. The staff of SAW Video reserves the right to award fewer than 5 subsidies if there is a lack of demand or of applicants who meet the criteria. One subsidy only per person will be awarded. For more information, please contact Tanise Cabral at access@sawvideo.com or 613-238-7648.
