The Arts Pathway Program is a FREE four day workshop program designed for First Nations people interested in exploring their creativity. No experience is required!

This program is a great opportunity to build your creative skills and understand the performing arts industry. You’ll build connections with people who work in arts and get support around your ideas, all alongside other like-minded First Nations people.
