Year of the Youth

In 2011, the Arts Council's focus will be on youth. Plans include the launch of the ShuGo program, which provides $5 tickets for any live performance of arts and cultural events in the Shuswap for people under the age of 21. In addition, the Arts Council will be sponsoring the September SAGA exhibition "Mash Up," mixed-media works by artists aged 15 to 25, and developing an interactive educational program in the gallery for that month. An annual focus helps provide direction to existing and new programming, which then helps in the final evaluation of said programs. In an effort to engage more youth in the cultural sector of Salmon Arm, we also succeed in speaking the language of the big guns in Victoria when we show them our excellent results.

  1. is there a pool of 'in kind' donations, ie free workshops to youth that can be contributed to and perhaps be of use in future funding requests?
