“Despite the challenges of COVID-19, basin artists working in all genres continued to show incredible enthusiasm to continue their path as artists,” said Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance chair Stephanie Fischer, in a news release. “For many years I have been incredibly impressed by the scope of the projects for which applicants are seeking funding. Some artists are taking their first steps towards becoming professionals and are seeking support to realize major projects for all to enjoy.”

Funding applications were adjudicated in May by the steering committee with input from community arts councils.

“The arts and culture of the basin is part of what makes our region so special and unique,” said Michelle d’Entremont, delivery of benefits manager, Columbia Basin Trust, in a news release. “These projects support both business renewal and community well-being in our region. We look forward to enjoying these projects alongside the rest of the communities in the basin.”
