Cape Dorset: Flash Forward Incubator Extends to Canada’s North

Happy holiday season, Magenta friends,
We’ve got news we’re very excited and proud about this December. Without further ado, The Magenta Foundation is pleased to announce the extension of its Incubator Program in the North. Incubator Cape Dorset builds on the successes of the established Flash Forward Incubator program, concurrently running for the past 4 years. With key partnerships with the West Baffin Eskimo Co-Operative (WBEC), Dorset Fine Arts and the Sam Pudlat school, we can provide essential tools and materials to the youth in Cape Dorset, allowing them to expand their vision of their homeland, the same, as all youth do today, through technology and smartphones.
This is an exciting chapter for our foundation and we are extra excited about our new collaborative partner, Dorset Fine Arts, for their vision and enthusiasm to help us bring our Incubator Program to Cape Dorset. This new initiative begins early January 2017.
We’d like to take a moment to extend our gratitude to TD Bank Group, who so generously support not only the Flash Forward Competition, and is also the founding sponsor of the Flash Forward Incubator program for students. Speaking of the Flash Forward competition, a reminder that this is the last month to submit to Flash Forward Emerging Photographers’ Competition and the deadline is rather quickly approaching: December 31st. Open to photographers working in Canada, the US, and UK, there are $20,000 combined cash prizes including a $10,000 Project Grant to award our winners, so kindly spread the word.
Thanks to everyone for your support in 2016 and hope you have a fantastic holiday break and a brilliant new year!
