Kicking Horse Culture is very pleased to share this announcement from the Town of Golden about the new mural coming to the wall of the Golden Dollar Store this summer.

Golden & District Arts Council, known as Kicking Horse Culture (KHC) is seeking an Executive & Artistic Director (EAD) to lead, manage and plan arts and cultural programs for the region. This is an exciting and unique opportunity for a creative professional who can bring together their vision, experience and passion for a wide range of artistic endeavours.

Kicking Horse Culture, the Town of Golden and the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) announce that Bill Usher, the long-term Executive and Artistic Director for Kicking Horse Culture will be retiring, once a suitable successor has been found. This follows a planned transition process ensuring Kicking Horse Culture’s programs and services continue without interruption for the citizens of Golden. Usher will remain throughout the transition in his current capacity, after which the three-time Juno winner has hinted at his eventual return to performing.

KHC has two positions open on our Board and we invite you to find out more about what KHC and the Board do to manage and govern the community's arts council. Click here to find out more...

The wild & silly creatures of the valley have met and we are starting to dream BIG about welcoming Snow King & Lady Spring and the whole wild & silly community back for a fantabulous bonfire Pageant in Spirit Square on Saturday Feb. 11! 

Every year we create an Annual Report video to be presented at our Annual General Meeting. This report is for our previous Fiscal Year June 2021 through May 2022. The report is full of photos from the various events and activities that KHC presents for the community of Kicking Horse Country. Take a look here and remember back to the year that just was.

Snow King & Lady Spring will come back to the valley on Saturday evening Feb. 11, 2023. Previous and NEW "wild and silly" folks are gathering Wednesday Nov 23 at 5:30pm Golden Civic Centre to dream the process of creating this year's MasqueParade and we invite YOU to come join us for some pizza and ... fun! Please RSVP!

The prime responsibility of this position is managing Civic Centre rental bookings and providing excellent customer service to rental clients. Depending upon your skills, arts and cultural experience, and your availability, you will also work alongside KHC staff to support the coordination and marketing of our various events and initiatives — with special focus on the Christmas Craft Faire and the MasqueParade.
