Provincial officials say that a record 99 organizations received grants from the Alberta government to host online or in-person Alberta Culture Days events this September.
In a release, the province says more than $300,000 will support a variety of activities in communities across the province, including traditional dancing, live performances, arts and crafts, festivals and more.
September is also the Month of the Artist in Alberta, with the government saying funding will help many local artists performing at Alberta Culture Days receive payment for their work. In this spirit, Albertans can also support artists through the many events featuring local talent.
“Alberta Culture Days demonstrates our vibrant arts, culture, diversity and community spirit. I invite all Albertans to put on a mask and attend the wide array of in-person events happening across the province. And with many options online, anyone, even those abroad, can experience Alberta from the safety and comfort of their own home.” Leela Sharon Aheer, Minister of Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women
