We’re coming to say hello!

The West Kootenay Regional Arts Council is prepping to go on the road! Sign up below to indicate your attendance.
Every so often, we get the itch to abandon the Zoom calls and make some good, old-fashioned, face-to-face connections.
That’s why Kallee Lins, our Executive Director, and Lily Andersen, our Grants Officer and Operations Manager, are heading in mid-September 2025 to a few communities we don’t often get to visit in person.
Cranbrook, Fernie, Invermere and Golden—this means you!
We want to meet the folks involved in arts, culture and heritage in these locations (and surrounding areas). We’ll 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 we ask you to RSVP to help us plan appropriately. Click the link for your location:
