Reporting Back: Community Feedback on BC Arts Council 2022 Operating Assistance Application

Based on anecdotal input from members of B.C.’s arts and culture community, GVPTA, in collaboration with a group of B.C. arts service organizations (Arts BC, BC Alliance for Arts + Culture, BC Museums Association, BC Touring Council, CADA/West, Craft Council of BC, Le Conseil culturel et artistique francophone de la Colombie-Britannique, and Heritage BC), developed and disseminated a survey in October 2022 to better understand and identify common experiences with the BC Arts Council’s Operating Assistance grant program with the September 15, 2022 application deadline.

The final report and recommendations has been shared with the BC Arts Council, and Dr. Sae-Hoon Stan Chung, Chair of the BCAC, has provided GVPTA with a response letter which you can view at this link. 

GVPTA invites the community to a summary presentation of the report at a webinar on January 31, where they will be joined by representatives of the BC Arts Council and the Ministry.
