Thank you for your support!

The BCMA would like to thank those who have generously supported us in 2023.

Donations aid us in providing programs, funding opportunities, and resources that support the arts, culture & heritage sector in BC. The support we received in 2023 has allowed us to continue initiatives such as the IBPOC Cultural Professionals Network, the BC Museum Portraits Project, and launch a new bursary fund for Museum Educators.
