How have we supported arts, culture and heritage over the past year?

We’re excited to explore this answer with you at the annual general meeting of the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council, taking place online through Zoom from 12 to 1 p.m. Pacific / 1 to 2 p.m. Mountain on Friday, October 28, 2022.

Join us to hear what we’ve been up to, along with the key takeaways from our current strategic planning process. Members and non-members are welcome (see details below). Better yet, if you’re a non-member, become a member now! 

Additionally, the AGM is a great venue to share your own efforts, voice your needs and seek advice on issues your organization may be facing. Plus, you’ll connect with other arts-focused people and organizations across the region to hear what they’re doing, learn from one another and exchange information and resources.

RSVP by email to [email protected] by Wednesday, October 26, 2022.

We’re excited to introduce our modern, well-thought-out, cohesive website, logo and newsletter. These now better reflect who we are and how we serve the arts and culture sector in the region.

• You’ll notice streamlined navigation of this site, so you can more easily find the information you need. Here are some highlights:
  • NEW! In-site information about funding from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA).
  • NEW! Easily readable ARTiculate magazine full issues and individual feature stories.
  • NEW! Comprehensive and searchable listings of events and workshops.
  • NEW! All our news compiled in one location.
  • Plus favourites like access to information about the Columbia Basin Culture Tour, and more.
• Our logo now better ties to the updated logo of the CKCA, since delivering its programs (with funding provided by Columbia Basin Trust) is a large part of our mandate.
• We recently consolidated our Facebook and Instagram presence, so they’ve become one-stop spots for updates.
• We launched a more thorough, well-thought-out newsletter in November. If you’re not already on the email list, sign up for it here!

Also, please support our work within the region by becoming a member or providing a donation.

We look forward to continuing to serve you!
