ARTS/ ENTERTAINMENT — The Kamloops Art Gallery has received funding of $5,529 under the Museums Assistance Program to improve the accessibility and functionality of its collections management system.

The support will allow the gallery to purchase new software, undertake a multimedia and network upgrade, migrate information from its old database, and train staff on the new system. The gallery will also implement an online component to its collection, allowing the public greater virtual access to its works.

MP Cathy McLeod made the announcement today (Wednesday, July 9) on behalf of Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.
