Sharing Indigenous arts and cultural revitalization within Indigenous communities and with broader communities;
Increasing the intergenerational transfer of Indigenous artistic knowledge and cultural practices within contemporary, traditional, and non-traditional art forms;
Promoting Truth and Reconciliation in non-Indigenous communities through exposure to these projects and this work; and
Aligning with the mandate and strategic priorities of SK Arts and our program partners.
