Please find attached the poster and program for the upcoming Indigenous Artists Symposium & Storytellers Festival, “Activism and Education Through the Arts.” This symposium is scheduled for February 24-27, 2016 in Regina and will bring together Indigenous artists, curators, educators, and funders from across Saskatchewan and Canada to speak about art as a powerful voice for making change. Please pass this information on to anyone you feel may be interested in attending.

The event is free to attend, and all venues are wheelchair accessible.

Thank you for your support of this important gathering.

The Summer Institute (INCA 200) is a core-required course in the INCA program, and is a 6-credit-hour course.

It is only offered in the summer—the course dates for 2016 are Monday, May 9 to Friday, June 24, 2016. The course times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.

You can also register in the INCA Internship (INCA 290) from July 4 to the end of August. The Internship is also 6-credit-hours, so you can complete 12-credit-hours over the course of the Spring/Summer semester. (For the purpose of student loans and some band funding programs, registering in 12 credit hours makes you eligible for funding–but check with your funder. If you require a confirmation letter, text me at 306-536-8069.)

INCA 200 and 290 are open to all students who are eligible to register at the University of Regina–especially Film and pre-Journalism students, for whom INCA 200 is recommended by their programs.

Students can also register as Casual students. If you want to complete only the INCA Summer Institute (INCA 200) this is a great option. For information and instructions, go to http://www.uregina.ca/cce/student-services/admitted/admission.html
