Attention Emerging Artists! Would you like to present your own community arts project as a featured 2016 Culture Days event? Develop your professional practice and receive mentoring on a range of topics related to community arts? Attend the 2016 Culture Days National Congress? Connect with a broad network of arts leaders from your region, province and across Canada? And be paid professional artists’ fees for all your work?
If so, Ontario Culture Days wants YOU! A call for expressions of interest from young, community-engaged artists to participate in the inaugural Youth Arts Ambassador Program (YAAP) is now open. Your work could be featured in upcoming funding applications with the intent of officially launching a two-year pilot project from April 2016 to March 2018.
Ontario Culture Days is part of the national Culture Days movement to encourage awareness, participation and engagement of all Ontarians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
