The CRD Arts Development Service provides funding support to arts organizations on behalf of 8 municipalities in the capital region: Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Metchosin, Highlands and Sidney. The Arts Service has three funding programs:

• Operating Grants provide annual financial assistance to established arts organizations for ongoing programming and administrative expenses
• Project Grants support emerging or established arts organizations for new, recurring or developmental initiatives
• IDEA Grants (Innovate, Develop, Experiment, Access) support non-arts mandated organizations for arts related programming initiatives
