The Humber Literary Review (HLR) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an Ontario Arts Council Grant. OAC grant proposals are assessed by a diverse jury made up of artists and arts professionals with expertise in literary arts practice. Projects are awarded based on an assessment of their artistic merit, impact, and viability, within the context of the OAC’s Strategic Plan.

This award is a significant accomplishment and one that speaks to the incredible talent and vision of our faculty. The editorial collective looks forward to applying this grant towards further evolving the scope of the HLR, beginning with the upcoming themed issue on mental health and the arts, and to continuing the important work of supporting great Canadian writers and artists.
