Yukon Permanent Art Collection Info Session and call for submissions Workshop

Are you curious about the Yukon Permanent Art Collection or planning to submit a piece as part of this year’s Call for Submissions?

Join us for a 30-minute info session that will provide an overview of the Yukon Permanent Art Collection’s history, mandate and activities. The presentation is open to all!

The presentation will be followed by a hands-on workshop aimed at supporting artists in preparing submissions, including writing artist statements, biographies, and CVs, and tips about photographing artwork. Please bring drafts of your texts! All First Nations artists living in Haines Junction or in neighboring communities are welcome to attend.
