The Emerging Artists Series With the City of Regina

/in /by

In September of 2016, the Exchange started its Emerging Artists Series. Through the end of April 2017, the program aided Regina artists playing, performing, and presenting in our venue, helping them with the costs of these evenings so they could bring their work to Queen City audiences.

In that time, 50 shows benefited from the program, and all that was possible thanks to a grant from the City of Regina. The Exchange and the local artists helped by this program greatly appreciate their support, which helps foster a community of creative people of all varieties locally.
