The objective of the Regional Arts Summits is to enhance the skills, knowledge and expertise of those working and volunteering in the sector, as well as to strengthen regional networks to encourage increased communication, collaboration and cooperation in the region.
The North Central Arts Summit in Prince George will offer a platform for dialogue, professional development and networking opportunities to a diverse group of artists, arts administrators, arts and heritage organization representatives, volunteer board members, concert presenters, gallery, museum and cultural facility managers, students, government and tourism representatives, and others working in the creative sector.
