The Nan Yeomans Grant For Artistic Development supports promising young artists and artisans working in visual media to further their artistic growth and education.

Totalling $4,000 in value and awarded annually to one individual between the ages of 17 and 40, the grant is intended for training or focused creation to support the career development of a young emerging artist.

This grant is made possible through an endowment fund administered by the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area, with the selection process administered by the Kingston Arts Council.

The City of Kingston is currently wrapping up the public engagement process for the 2026 Budget, and this is your chance to speak up for the arts.

As part of this process, the public is invited to complete the 2026 Budget Survey by Sunday, November 2nd.

The survey takes a few minutes to complete, and is used to gather information on what services are most important to taxpayers. It's more important than ever that we continue to strengthen our local arts industry, and advocate for support for the arts at the municipal level.

The arts are not just culture, they’re an economic driver, an employer, and part of Kingston’s identity. Let’s make sure that’s reflected in the City’s budget.

Intersection is an ongoing photographic exploration that highlights the beauty and complexity of human experience through intimate portraits and environmental storytelling by photographer Shanique Peart.

Each image is an invitation to pause, witness, and reflect on the ways our lives intersect. Navigating the overlapping pathways of culture, gender, landscape, movement and identity.

Due to popular demand Intersection has been extended by 2 more days to 5 November!

Closing Reception

Join Shanique Peart as she discusses her art, process, and reflects with audiences during a screening of a short video. Light Refreshments will be provided. Free and open to all!
