About the Council
The Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts (PEICA)
was established in 1974 to serve the Island’s vibrant arts
community. The PEICA, a non-profit charitable organi-
zation, aims to promote culture and the arts across the
province. “To make the Arts integral to the lives of all
Prince Edward Islanders,” is the prime objective of the
PEICA. The PEICA encourages education in and through
the arts and supports a variety of programs which assist
and raise the profile of the arts and artists within this
province.
The PEICA works hard to represent Island artists at all
levels of government, advocating for the interests of the
arts community. We also provide important grants to
artists through a bi-annual process of peer adjudication;
these grants are vital to the ongoing support for creation
of new music, dance, visual arts, craft, theatre, writing,
film and video and more.
Your membership is important, as the collective voices
of our membership help lend importance and credibility
to the messages we carry on your behalf to City Coun-
cils, the Provincial Legislature as well as national level
meetings with Federal arts funders. Additionally, only
members are eligible to receive nominations to our Board
of Directors and vote on issues at our AGM, and mem-
bers receive the Members-Only Edition of the Island Arts
Newsletter filled with opportunities and events occurring
on Prince Edward Island.
The P.E.I. Council of the Arts is funded by the provincial
Department of Culture, Heritage & Recreation Division,
but operates at arms length from the Government.
Active Council members vote for a board representative
in their discipline. In turn, the Board of Directors makes
all policy and planning decisions after close consideration
of the needs of the artist and the community as a whole.
All Council members may participate in general meetings
and are encouraged to keep informed and involved.

Selecting the right Membership:
You can apply as an individual, a family or an organization.
Only one membership type can be selected per form.
Example:
John Smith from the ABC Cultural Group would like to
become a member.
Individual
If John wants to apply as an individual, he need only select
the one or two year fee type for an individual ($5 or $10).
Family
If John applies as a family, he will use “Smith” as the family
name if he is the first member. and pay the $5 or $10 fee.
Any subsequent members of his family (max. 6) would
then become members under the “Smith” family name and
be eligible for the reduced rate ($2 each). If his spouse,
Jane Jones is going to become a member on this family
membership, she applies under the “Smith” famliy name,
and uses her name .
Organization
If John’s organization applies, he will use ABC Cultural
Group as the name, indicating how many people are in his
organization. John would select the “Organiztion Fee”of
$5 or $10. Once the ABC Cultural Group is a member,
John and any other member of ABC Cultural Group are
then eligible to apply as an full-voting member at the
reduced rate ($2).
All members of an Organization that is a member are
deemed associate members. While this is a non-voting
membership, certain other benefits do apply. Contact us
for details.
Remember: a separate form must be completed by each
member. If you do not know if your organization is already
a member, contact the PEICA office.
