BC Culture Days is now accepting applications to the 2024 Ambassador Program.
The 2024 BC Culture Days Ambassador Program invites emerging artists of all disciplines (from visual artists to dancers, musicians, photographers, writers, actors, and more) located in B.C., to develop, coordinate, and present a free community-based event in their local area for Culture Days 2024 (September 20 – October 13, 2024). This year’s ambassador event series will explore the theme of intercultural celebration, offering creative activities that honour and amplify cultural understanding, cultural collaboration, cultural connections, and/or cross cultural exchange.
Five successful emerging artists from across the province will receive artist fees and a production budget totalling $2,000 to present their community-engaged event during Culture Days (between September 20 – October 13, 2024). The activity should encourage public participation and must be free for the public to attend. Successful applicants will also participate in a paid 3-month mentorship ($1,000 total for approx. 8 hrs/month) with an established artist starting in May, and act as a Culture Days media spokesperson for their community from August-October.
Please complete our online application by March 4, 2024 at 11:59PM PST.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to join a one-on-one Zoom interview with
BC Culture Days staff in mid-March.
