BC Museums Association

Help the BC Museums Association to advocate for a thriving arts, culture, and heritage sector - join the BCMA Advocacy Committee!

The Advocacy Committee provides strategic support for the BCMA’s government relations work and advocacy with local, provincial, and federal levels of government, seeks to increase
awareness and understanding of British Columbia’s cultural sector, and amplifies calls for sustainable funding that allows the broader arts, culture, and heritage sector to thrive.

Participation in the committee is anticipated to involve approximately 6 hours of a committee member’s time each year (3 one-hour meetings each, requiring around one hour of preparation).

If you are interested in joining the BCMA Advocacy Committee, please contact us via email ([email protected]) by May 1, 2025. Please include a very brief introductory overview of your work, career, and interest in advocacy (no more than 100 words).

Being q***r in the arts, culture, and heritage sector can be isolating. Join the BCMA’s 2SLGBTQIA+ Network for our next Q***r Connect today - Tuesday April 15, a monthly opportunity to chat and share digital space with other folks in the sector from across the province and beyond. Bring your questions, your successes to celebrate, or your challenges to the group for peer support.
