BC Culture Days 2023 Ambassador Series
For the 2023 BC Culture Days A/I/R Ambassador series, I was chosen as one of 10 ambassadors to receive a mentorship and support in offering free, inclusive and accessible programming to Trail, BC.
The vision for my event is to demystify the arts, and provide free micro-workshops to my community. By offering the workshops in-person, as take-home packages and virtual experiences, I hope to make this event as accessible as possible.
Virtual Programming can be found here. If you require ASL interpretation, click here
Free mini comics and tutorials can be downloaded here.

See photos from my event below! We had over 30 participants who learned about mini comics, character design, and storytelling.

The collaborative comic jam board at the end of the event. It turns out people are shy to draw in public! We were really happy with the few brave people who participated.
