The River Clyde Pageant, an outdoor community theatre project that takes place each summer in New Glasgow, was recently awarded a P.E.I. arts grant for the 2019 edition of the event.
Pageant producer and co-director Megan Stewart said this support helps to develop the pageant each year.
“The funding is crucial for engaging new and returning artists on the project and building a performance that inspires awe and wonder amongst our audiences and participants.”
Stewart is among 14 Island artists who recently received a total of $50,000 through the provincial government’s arts grants program.
Sixty-six artists applied for grants throughout the fall. The successful applicants were selected by a six-member jury of their arts community peers which follows the same model used by the Canada Council of the Arts.
