Calling for participants in Columbia Basin Culture Tour
By Contributor
Registrations are being accepted for artists/venues in the Columbia Basin to participate in the Columbia Basin Culture Tour (CBCT).
The CBCT is a self-guided tour showcasing local arts, culture and heritage offered at no charge to the general public. Full-colour tour directories will be available free of charge to the public as a guide to visit your studio, exhibition, museum, art gallery, cultural centre or heritage site throughout the Columbia Basin during this special weekend event. And yes, “artists” includes visual, written, performing, media and inter-arts.
Participating as a venue allows you to really connect with locals, develop a wider audience, educate the public about what you do, market your activities, and attract visitors to your community.
The CBCT allows visitors to meet the participants “behind the scenes” and allows them to: visit artists studios that may not regularly be open to the public, purchase works directly from the artists, visit art galleries, museums and cultural centres to view special interpretive displays, archives, demonstrations or performances. It is also a chance for them to meet people such as artists, curators, historians and volunteers that are such a vital part of our local culture.
The final registration deadline is April 15, but you can register by March 31 and save: early registration (by March 31) is $40, after that (up to April 15), is $50.

The Columbia Basin Culture Tour is a project of the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and is funded by Columbia Basin Trust which delivers social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin.
