Organizers of the Sechelt Arts Festival say 2014 was another success, especially the collaborative effort that brought together First Nations artists with the wider artistic community.
In their final report for council Festival producers say there was good attendance, a boost in sponsorship money and they stuck to their budget.
And Sechelt Mayor Bruce Milne, who’s worked with the Sunshine Coast Arts Council in his non-political life, says he thinks there are still a couple of elements missing when it comes to who goes out to support the annual fall event, including more young people.
Milne also says the people one typically expects to be patrons of the arts in the community haven’t generally been part of the Festival audience.
