Canada Winter Games organizers are looking for Albertan artists to perform during the event next year in Red Deer.

The 2019 Games will feature a variety of showcase opportunities, including at the opening and closing ceremonies, the athletes’ village and at the community stage multi-day festival.

“We are excited to introduce the country to our rich local arts and culture community in February 2019,” said Board Chair Lyn Radford. “We invite all of central Alberta’s exciting artists and performers to answer our call and join us in showing the country what we are made of!”

A variety of performers are wanted, including actors, visual artists, multicultural performers and Francophone musicians.

An open dance audition will be held this fall, with more details still to come.
