Beginning with the Spirit of a Nation tour in 1992, a core principle of the Society has been to offer training and opportunities for emerging artists to support their successful launch into professional careers. The Society continues that legacy today with ongoing artistic and career development programs, the most significant being the operation of the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, BC.
The Society offers mid-career graduates of the Canadian College of Performing Arts support to further develop new works in progress while also developing their teaching skills providing workshops and talk-back sessions. We aim to engage community members, not only as audiences, but as partner creators and artists themselves, building performances based on their life stories and experiences.
Venue space and equipment is offered at reduced rates to emerging artists and not-for-profits to support charitable events and artistic creation.
