The provincial government is giving $34.5 million to arts and culture organizations around BC, six of which are in Prince George.
“The past three years have been incredibly challenging for people earning a living in the arts and culture sector,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “This funding is intended to help bolster resiliency of organizations in the industry and make a difference in addressing rising costs, so we can provide an arts and culture sector that benefits everyone, including our visitors.”
