West Kootenay Arts Council Pop-Up Events – Cranbrook, Fernie, Invermere and Golden

Kallee Lins, the Executive Director, and Lily Andersen, the Grants Officer and Operations Manager of the West Kootenay Arts Council will be heading to four locations in the Kootenays to offer a pop-up tour!

They want to meet the folks involved in arts, culture and heritage in these locations (and surrounding areas). They will learn about you and your needs, while you’ll learn more about:

• grants you could apply for from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance
• WKRAC programs you could participate in, like Articulate magazine and the Columbia Basin Culture Tour
• the broader ways we help people like you carry out your arts, culture and heritage activities more effectively.

The get-togethers will be casual, but they ask you to RSVP to help plan appropriately. Click the link for your location:
