Call for submissions: WMT fund for Asian-Canadian playwrights


What is the Wuchien Michael Than Foundation Fund (WMT Foundation Fund)?

The WMT Foundation Fund has been established – in partnership with the Ontario Arts Foundation (OAF) – to provide financial support for a range of activities in keeping with the overall mission of the WMT Foundation.

Currently, grants are available only for the production of new works by Asian-Canadian playwrights, and can be applied towards the artistic, technical, promotional and administrative costs of the production of new works not yet publicly presented in Ontario.
