Pathways Program

We imagine a vibrant arts and culture sector in which people can bring their whole selves to their work.

The Pathways program is a year-long process that supports arts, culture, and heritage practitioners to learn, reflect, and integrate equity and access more deeply into their work. Participants are supported with individualized learning plans, peer networks, and one-on-one guidance. 

Full details on the program and how to apply can be found at manypathways.ca.

Expressions of Interest for Pathways 2026 (January start) 
are open until October 8.

Please Note: The program cycle starting January 2026 will be a special 9-month edition of Pathways, to align with the launch of the adjusted single annual intake starting in October 2026. 


Learn more at the info session on Tuesday, September 16, 12:00 - 1:00pm PDT.  ASL interpretation and Zoom auto-captions will be available. 


The Pathways program is a collaborative effort between Arts BC, theBC Museums Association (BCMA), the Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance (GVPTA), and the Rural Arts Inclusion Lab (RAIL). This group works in a trust-based co-leadership model.
