Make a Donation to BCTC’s The Next Gen
| In 2016, on its 40th Anniversary, the BC Touring Council launched the Next 10 Legacy Fund to support youth from across BC, who were interested in working or volunteering in live performing arts, to attend Pacific Contact. We are grateful to the past donors of the Next 10 Legacy Fund. BCTC has since expanded our vision from The Next 10 Legacy to The Next Gen, representing our ongoing commitment to supporting and providing access to young people in BC’s performing arts sector. |
