Fort St John Community Arts Council is excited to host the first annual North Peace Arts in Partnership Conference, opening doors to community members, Non-Profit Member Groups, Downtown Businesses, Community Groups and more. The event will provide productive and informational round table sessions to support local community while building Arts and Culture Infrastructure in the North Peace.
This Conference will provide opportunities for individuals, non-profits, local businesses and community groups to come together and shape an inclusive path forward. The impact of this event, through collaboration of ideas and strengths will be immediate, and continued throughout the weekend. Solidified connections between community leaders will impact community programs, produce new associations, strengthen local non-profits, and build Arts and Culture infrastructure in the North Peace. Fort St John Community Arts Council will be directly impacted by the voices expressed during the conference, aligning with our strategic plan and bolstering our own network. September 26 is the inaugural Conference, with the goal of making it an annual event, with a wider reach, increased capacity and rich lasting impact. Fort St John Community Arts Council is built on a culture of abundance- please consider financial support of our September 26, 2026 event and be part of the impact.
