RELEASE DATE:May 20, 2021

On May 30th, from 6-8PM, the newest round of TD ARTpreneurs will present their creative services and products in an online market.

The artists will present this special online event live through YAC’s Facebook Live and YouTube Live channels, and it is free for everyone to attend. Live links will be updated on this page.

The TD ARTpreneurs program, proudly supported by TD Bank Group, supports artists from a wide range of disciplines including theatre, music, photography, painting, digital art, craft and more. The program introduces talented youth and emerging artists to basic business skills, and supports them to develop a creative product or service that they can start making money from by the end of the program. This round has been lead by musician Shevy Price and visual artist Bailee Higgins.

“COVID-19 forced us to change the program, which used to be run in communities throughout Nova Scotia,” says facilitator Bailee Higgins, “This cohort is an amazingly talented and diverse group located in Halifax, Cape Breton, Wolfville, New Glasgow and other parts of Nova Scotia. Even though we miss being in person, now we have a chance for artists located across the whole province to meet, connect, and work together in the online program”.

The artists will present their work and creative services at the event, and the audience is encouraged to invest in these local creatives by attending and buying their services and products. Everything will be presented and sold online, and there will be plenty of time to hear from the audience through Facebook and YouTube chats as well.
