Arts and Culture: Brock graduates doin' it right.
Here are profiles of graduates from Brock University making a difference in the Niagara Region.
The first group are all part of the Niagara Artists Centre, a not-for-profit, charitably registered, member-driven collective formed by and dedicated to serving the working artists and community of Niagara. Founded in 1969 as a collective of working artists, NAC is one of the oldest artist-run organizations in Canada.
The second is a graduate who is leading the way here at Brock's Centre for the Arts, our regional presenting performance venue.

The Niagara Artists Centre
A key player in the regional cultural scene of Niagara, their cultural programming is world-class, hip, and a lot of fun. Every year students in cSTAC make fieldtrips to see and participate in their events.
