Requirements

Grant recipients are expected to create an activation on site at Canopy within six months of receiving funds. Possible examples include a pop-up shop, a workshop, a retail display, or an event.

The activation does not need to be tied to the use of funds, but is a part of the partnership between the artist and Canopy.
