Creative Industries Fund

The Creative Industries Fund invests in Nova Scotia registered cultural businesses that are focused on global exporting and supports not-for-profits and social enterprises focused on development of the culture sector outside of Nova Scotia. The application cycle opens on April 1, 2022 and closes December 15, 2022.

While the fund generally supports export activity, we welcome alternative approaches to expanding your reach– for example, the use of digital tools and web-based solutions.
