Original Post Details:
We’re launching an exciting project to foster the growth of the next generation of Mi'kmaw creators. Funding is available for three young artists to be selected for the program; each will receive a total bursary of $4,500 divided into monthly payments during their participation in the program, and will be matched with a mentor for periodic one-on-one training.
Over the course of approximately 6-7 months, the educational journeys of these young artists will also be documented in a short film. Artistic works resulting from this project will also be featured in both virtual and physical exhibits.
If you know a talented & aspiring Mi'kmaw artist living in Unama’ki between the ages of 16 and 28, we'd like to hear about them...
