New arts policy takes shape, aims to help local artists
A Wednesday evening town hall meeting offered the public an opportunity to give its feedback on the civic arts policy.
The policy is one of the Prince Albert Arts Board’s primary undertakings since stepping out of its role in the E.A. Rawlinson Centre’s day-to-day operations. The civic arts policy will set out the arts board’s new role, as well as the City of Prince Albert’s obligations to it.
The reason for it all is to foster the arts in the city, and lay out the arts board’s advocacy role.
“It serves as a guideline for City officials and city council to engage with artists and art in the community,” Prince Albert Arts Board executive director Roxanne Dicke said.
