Kootenay Artists, Writers, Performers...

Organizers of the BC Arts Council, West Kootenay Regional Arts Council and Arts BC (Canada) sent me this notice that I just had to share with our blog readers: https://www.wkartscouncil.com/ It’s time we had a talk! Join fellow artists, performers, writers and cultural organizers for a meet-up. The West Kootenay Regional Arts Council and Arts BC have partnered to create two gatherings—one in the East Kootenays and one in the West Kootenays. This will be a great opportunity to participate in professional development activities focused on equity, diversity and justice facilitated by Carla Stephenson of RAIL.  Connect with representatives from the BC Arts Council, Arts BC, and your peers across the sector.  Be inspired by artists and organizations as they share their stories and strategies, and inform WKRAC about your current strengths and obstacles to help us develop responsive regional supports. Come to create new relationships with artists and arts organizations and strengthen existing ones! Space is limited, so reserve your spot soon! Lunch is provided. In-person West Kootenay gathering: Tuesday, June 20, Taghum Hall, Taghum (near Nelson), 9:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (seems to be fully booked)

In-person East Kootenay gathering: Thursday, June 22, Centre 64, Kimberley, 9:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Registration Form: https://form-can.keela.co/kootenay-art-connect-live-event-kimberley
