Every year, a growing number of Albertans are taking the last weekend of September to put culture centre stage. This year, you could play a lead role in their experience!

To help increase participation and Albertans’ access to culture, the Government of Alberta is providing funding to organizations to put on events for Alberta Culture Days 2014, occurring September 26–28. The deadline for application submission is April 28, 2014.
