Cultural ambassador sought

Delegate for BC Culture Days to act as community spokesperson.

Do you have a passion for the province’s arts and culture community that you want to share with the rest of the country?

BC Culture Days, along with the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development, are searching for an ambassador to represent B.C. at the annual National Congress on Culture in Edmonton. The delegate will act as a spokesperson for Culture Days, promoting events around the community leading up to Culture Days weekend, which takes place Sept. 25, 26 and 27.

The event is billed as a “national celebration of arts, culture, historians, architects, curators and designers at work.”

Last year’s Culture Days in Surrey featured performances by Spirit of the West’s John Mann, country singer Lisa Brokop and the Surrey City Orchestra, plus poetry readings and more.

Ambassador applicants must be B.C. artists (amateur or professional) or cultural workers, active in their arts, culture or heritage community and must register to present an activity in B.C. during the 2015 Culture Days weekend.

Winners are also eligible to receive up to $2,500 towards the production of their Culture Days event. The deadline to apply is April 13. Visit www.bc.culturedays.ca to find out more.
