We are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the 2016/17 FPCC Arts funding programs.
These grants support First Nations and Aboriginal arts through five programs: Individual Emerging Artists, Organizations and Collectives, Sharing Traditional Arts Across Generations, Arts Administrator Internships and Mentorships, and Aboriginal Youth Engaged in the Arts.
Applicants must have a demonstrated commitment to their practice in any discipline — visual, music, dance, theatre, literary or media arts — and can work in traditional or experimental forms.
In 2016, 77 projects were awarded a total of $877,000 through the five programs. The deadline for all programs is October 31, 2016.
I have attached a poster, which provides a brief overview of our five grant programs. You can find our application forms and guidelines on our website (www.fpcc.ca).
Contact FPCC arts staff for more information — Cathi Charles Wherry, Arts Programs Manager, at [email protected] or Kyla Schorneck, Arts Programs Assistant, at [email protected].
We would like to thank all B.C. Aboriginal artists who are interested in our arts programs and look forward to receiving your application forms.

What is happening locally with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women?
This event is being used as an opportunity to bring people of the North Okanagan together for an evening of hockey at our beautifully crafted building—The Splatsin Centre! There is no charge to attend; however, we encourage a donation of a canned food item for entry. I am making this request as we will have light food items available for purchase and want to ensure we have the appropriate amount of supplies.
Shelley Witzky organized this event on behalf of Sexqeltemc te Secwepemc Lakes Division here is her report of what happened
One weeks notice is now required
