The Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) administers and manages the Arts, Culture and Heritage funding sector of the Columbia Basin Trust. The CKCA has a Steering Committee of 14 members from around the Basin elected for two year terms.
Nominations are put forward by the 18 local arts councils in the Basin as well as the Heritage Federation of South Eastern BC. Nominees can be any member of a community with a background in arts, culture or heritage, are involved in the cultural work of their region and have a background in working on committees and program development.
Funding from the CKCA is for all arts disciplines (visual art, theatre, music, dance, media, literary and inter-arts), includes grants to individuals as well as arts, culture and heritage organizations.
Funding applications are adjudicated once a year by local arts councils and the CKCA Steering Committee.
The Columbia Basin includes all communities within the area roughly bounded by Valemount, Revelstoke, Rossland, Creston, Sparwood, and Golden.
Working with community arts councils, individual artists, performers, heritage workers and cultural organizations, the goal of the CKCA is to build long-term sustainability for artists and to strengthen and support arts, cultural and heritage organizations.
