Opening Doors to the Arts

Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts (ACUA) is a not for profit, registered charitable provincial arts organization located in Edmonton. ACUA has partnered with CARFAC Alberta to deliver this project. ACUA and CARFAC Alberta have identified that there is an immediate need to support new artists that have made Edmonton and Alberta their home and connect them to the arts communities where they now reside. Our organizations have partnered to develop a professional development and mentorship program targeted at immigrant, indigenous and emerging artists in our community. Our organizations and the intern will develop the business plan and will create a formal program to connect Canadian established artists with emerging artists that wish to understand how to build a career in the visual arts sector in Alberta. The program will include mentorship opportunities, synchronous and asynchronous workshops and educational opportunities, and entrepreneurship and exhibition opportunities.
