Call for Emerging Artist Ambassadors

BC Culture Days is now accepting applications to the 2023 Ambassador Program.

They are pleased to announce that BC Culture Days will be partnering with Kickstart Disability Arts & Culture to better support this year’s program and ambassadors.

The 2023 Ambassador Program invites artists of all mediums located in B.C. to develop, coordinate, and present a community-based event for Culture Days 2023 (September 22 - October 15, 2023) centred around the theme of Accessibility and Inclusion. Through their events, ambassadors will apply accessible practices and create inclusive spaces for their communities, encouraging participation in arts and culture for all.

They 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 communities to apply. Given the provincial scope of the work, they also aim to prioritize regional artists and organizations in rural or remote areas. *Please note, this is not an exhaustive list of disability and related identities.
