A group of individuals interested in the arts hope to make downtown North Battleford a destination for artists and arts supporters.
Organizer Joseph Campbell says a public meeting to form an Artist Run Centre in downtown North Battleford is being held Wednesday evening, Jan. 15, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the McKitrick School library.
"We hope to create an open community-focused space for artists to work individually and collaboratively," says Campbell. "We believe this could be a great thing for downtown and as the City of North Battleford is taking a positive, progressive approach to revitalizing our downtown core neighbourhood, we believe that as an artistic collective, we are in a great position to add our voice to this effort to make our downtown a vibrant and culturally diverse area."
Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting and organizers hope to attract interested individuals, whether they are artists looking for individual studio space, artisans wishing to participate in future Saturday markets, or anyone else wanting to get engaged in forming a creative cultural hub in the city's core neighbourhood. All disciplines and skill levels are welcome, say organizers.
Campbell can be reached by voice or text at 306-480-9011.
