On today’s show, after a 2024 report on the challenges and impacts of cultural venues in New Brunswick, we check in with two of Tantramar’s cultural institutions to hear about their specific challenges in infrastructure and funding. Judy Morison of the Westmorland Historical Society talks about the need for adjustments in core funding that has been stagnant for decades to help keep the doors open at the Keillor House and St. James Textile museums. And Struts Gallery director Paul Henderson talks about the challenge facing the artist-run centre: funding a major renovation project for the more than 100 year old building that houses Struts.
