The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists sharing about their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.

Webinars are free for CARFAC Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba members and $25.00 for non-members.
