The series consists of successful applications for grant and scholarship programs administered by the program area created between 2014-2016 in British Columbia. Grants and scholarships are available to community and professional arts and cultural organizations and individual artists through the British Columbia Arts Council and other ministry arts and culture funding programs. British Columbia Arts Council funding is available under the Arts Council Act (RSBC 1996, c. 19). Successful applications document a core function of the program area and possess considerable historical and informational value in the area of the development of British Columbia's arts sector. This arts funding supports and encourages various cultural and artistic endeavors, including arts festivals, arts training, community and regional arts development, professional performing arts (e.g., dance and theatre), visual arts, literary and publishing arts, and media arts. The Arts and Cultural Development branch review the funding applications and make funding recommendations which, depending on the funding program, may be submitted to the BC Arts Council for approval.

It includes successful grant applications, allocation records, final reports from the recipient of the grant, and other supporting documents. This series is covered under the Cultural Services ORCS (schedule 143933) secondary 80100-20 arts and culture funding case files.
