Local photo-based artist Danny Custodio will introduce us to funding
opportunities to create and display your work. Custodio will share his
experience with applying for grants through the Cultural Investment

the Arts. Find out ways to support your art practice with a creation
grant or exhibition assistance grant.
Danny Custodio is a practicing mid-career photo-based artist born in
Toronto, ON now based in St. Catharines. His artistic work is about
understanding and exploring cultural traditions, from the centrality of
immigrant manual labour to faith-based cultural practices through the
lens of a first-generation Canadian born to an immigrant family, and
how those cultural traditions can be adapted and re-created outside of
their regional specificity. His work is a unique glimpse into the personal
and artistic processes of incorporating family connection and cultural
heritage into a life in Canada.
