The Conseil des arts Prescott Russell Arts Council (CAPRAC) Program
The Conseil des arts Prescott Russell Arts Council (CAPRAC) is a not for profit organization whose mission is to uplift and promote the arts, culture and heritage in the region of Prescott and Russell. As part of its 10th anniversary programming in 2024, CAPRAC is presenting a new initiative aimed at highlighting local art and agriculture as part of our collective cultural heritage.
TERRE-O-ART (from the French ‘terroir‘) is an engagement initiative designed to bring together two valuable, natural resources of our region: agriculture and artists. Through a series of onsite creation sessions, the program will establish scheduled visits to local agriculture and heritage sites where participants can be inspired by the landscape to paint, photograph, play music or compose in the natural setting.
CAPRAC is currently accepting Host applications from interested farmers, producers and growers willing to host one or more of these creation sessions on their property this Summer. This is an excellent opportunity for agricultors to increase visibility, engage with the artistic sector and benefit from promotion through the CAPRAC network! These sessions are proposed for Tuesday mornings from 10 to noon, from June to October, and will require access to parking and washrooms for the participants.
