A Prince Albert writer, a local theatre company, and Muskoday First Nation Community School are among the most recent recipients of grants from SK Arts.
The largest grant handed out in the P.A. area will go to author Mary-Ann Kirkby, who received $18,000 to write the first draft of
Untold, The Hutterite Story. The historical non-fiction book will examine the time the Hutterite people spent in Europe before migrating to North America.
“It will be a story of how the Hutterites came to be,” Kirkby, who has written two other books on Hutterite life, told
paNOW. “And I think it’s a story that not even the Hutterites themselves fully understand.”
