Deadline: February 28 @11:59PM PST
Are you an emerging creative looking to grow your practice, connect with your community, and make an impact? BC Culture Days is accepting applications for our 2023 Ambassador Program. We’re partnering with Kickstart Disability Arts and Culture to support with this year’s program and ambassadors!
To read the full call, view an ASL translation, or find the link to apply, visit our website http://ow.ly/lZZC50Mynz8.
Interdisciplinary artists located in B.C. are invited to develop a community event for Culture Days 2023. Centred around the theme of Accessibility and Inclusion, the ambassadors’ events will apply accessible practices and create inclusive spaces for local communities, encouraging participation in arts and culture for all.
Selected artists will receive artist fees and a production budget totalling $1,000 to present their free-to-attend, participatory activity to the public during Culture Days 2023 (Sept 22 – Oct 15, 2023).
Successful applicants will also participate in a paid 6-month ($2,000 total for approx. 8hr/month) mentorship with an established artist starting in May, and act as a Culture Days media spokesperson for their community from July-September.

We invite artists who self-identify as Indigenous, Black, a Person of Colour, disabled, Deaf, hard of hearing, crip, chronically ill, mad, trauma-impacted, neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQQIA+, and/or those who are culturally invested in disability or related communities to apply. Given the provincial scope of our work, we also aim to prioritize applications from regional artists in rural or remote areas.
Have questions or need more info? Join the @BCCulturedays team on February 15 at 10:00AM PST via Zoom for an info session. Link to register: http://ow.ly/xa1450Mynz9.
