First Nation artist's dream of an arts festival edges closer to reality
After months of collaboration, it's all come down to this.
Today, Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation JHR trainee Kyle Derosier hit the "Submit" button on an application for funding for his dream project – a multidisciplinary arts festival in his community. I lost track of how many hours we worked on this project, but it's all been worth it.
If all goes to plan, the Ontario Arts Council will accept his proposal and provide key funding for his festival, to be held next summer in the beautiful community.
Gitchi-miigwetch to everyone who supports Kyle's vision. A round of applause for him!!!
