The CRD Arts Service and the Belfry Theatre talk to the Victoria Foundation about the role that arts play in fostering a sense of community on the Vital Victoria Podcast.
When we talk about what is essential to our lives – food, shelter, community – arts and culture are often an afterthought, considered a luxury more than a necessity. But when it comes to inspiring a sense of belonging, is there anything more vital?
In episode #3 the Vital Victoria podcast dives into Arts and Culture. James Lam, Capital Regional District Manager of Arts Development Service, discusses arts funding and its role in fostering more sustainable communities.
Plus, they visit the Belfry Theatre to sit in on a class of high school students throughout Greater Victoria who have come together to study the stage, and learn more about themselves in the process through the Theatre 101 program.
