- Provide students with opportunities to develop their artistic skills through the acquisition of software that directly supports artistic activities, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, etc.
- Support the work of local artists by organizing events within the community and providing artists with appropriate fees and space to provide activities, performances, or workshops for First Nations youth.
See full details in the program guidelines.
