Five information sessions will be held in March to provide details regarding various funding programs delivered by the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Division of the Department of Tourism and Culture. Affiliates of the Department, Music PEI and the PEI Arts Council, will also be onsite at the various locations.

We are committed to working towards improving our communication to the cultural industry, and these information sessions are but one example of how we hope to achieve this commitment.”
