Northern Artists and arts and culture organizations are getting support to adapt to the challenges of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The B.C. Government is providing more than $194,000 in grants to seven artists and organizations across the North. The funding comes as venues are faced with temporary closures and restricted audience sizes. Artists and organizations have found ways to keep creating and reaching their audiences.
The Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate got a grant to support its transition from a tourist-based business model to a community arts and culture business model. Northern Artist Tina Robinson also got a grant to work with a Chilkat weaver mentor to learn new weaving techniques.
The B.C. Arts Council administered the grants which are now fully distributed.
