Home / Member News / First People’s Cultural Council – Art Program Review
Hello,
We would like to invite Aboriginal artists, cultural knowledge keepers, and arts organizations to participate in First Peoples’ Cultural Council’s Arts Program Review. In addition to an upcoming online survey (information below) and select interviews, we want to communicate directly with Aboriginal artists, arts groups and communities – the people the programs are meant to serve. We are hosting community consultation sessions to seek feedback on our funding programs and the support we provide to artists and communities. We would also like to hear community perspectives about which art forms are thriving, art practices that need more support, and any challenges impacting arts in your community. We are also interested in ideas for addressing these issues.
The attached poster provides all event details for the fast approaching community consultation in Kelowna. Lunch will be provided during the session.
Kelowna- Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016 12:30 – 4:30- Westbank First Nation, Siya Room
Please, contact our office to RSVP by phone (250-652-5952) or email ([email protected]). You can contact the FPCC arts program staff to ask any questions or discuss possible assistance with necessary travel expenses.
We hope you will consider contributing to these important conversations. We strongly encourage those who are familiar with our programs to attend.
If the session in Kelowna is too far to participate, you may still contribute to these important conversations via an online survey.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete, and also includes a few questions related to BC Arts Council’s support for Indigenous arts.
There are three surveys, for various participants. Please complete the survey most relevant to your experience and perspective, by clicking on the relevant link. If clicking the link does not work on your computer, please copy and paste the URL into your browser’s address bar and press Enter.
