We simply couldn’t do what we do without the kind souls that generously donate their time to us. This includes lending a hand at performance events, planning and performing at Emberfest, and helping to facilitate art spaces within the community.
Volunteering with Kicking Horse Culture gains you access to incredible live music and theatre, as well as skill building opportunities (people, project and production skills!) and – best of all – you’ll find a sense of belonging within this wacky and wonderful collective of artists, creators, community members, and enthusiastic individuals who value their home. Whether you’re a creator yourself, a newcomer to Golden, looking to pick up some skills or just a curious human, we’re excited to welcome you to the team.
We are seeking dynamic and committed individuals to help us cultivate a vibrant arts community. Please fill out THIS FORM to tell us a bit more about you and why you are interested in joining.

Kicking Horse Culture (KHC) provides support to the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) to disseminate and adjudicate grants to local artists. CKCA funding programs are usually launched towards the end of January, with application deadlines in March. To learn more about this granting program, visit the CKCA Funding Programs page.
KHC staff helps inform local artists and organizations about granting opportunities, as they arise, and provides informal mentorship opportunities, encouragement and advice throughout the process.
Every year, Kicking Horse Culture awards scholarships to graduates of Golden Secondary School (GSS) who have contributed to the cultural life of the community and intend to pursue those interests in their post-secondary training. Students can apply directly through GSS.
If you’re interested in the background of how the Golden District Arts Council morphed into Kicking Horse Culture and gained the support of the community and local government then this document presented by former Mayor Christina Benty provides some detailed background information.
