My Story…
I’m Andrea, the Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust (NSTT), and I’m lacing up my sneakers for the Blue Nose Marathon Charity Challenge to support something I’m incredibly passionate about—local talent.
When we think about "supporting local," we often think about shopping at farmers' markets or choosing Nova Scotia-made products. But supporting local goes beyond the grocery store—it's also about nurturing the incredible talent growing right here in our own communities.
Every dollar I raise will go directly to scholarships for emerging Nova Scotian artists studying music, film, theatre, visual arts, literary arts, and dance. These artists are the heart and soul of our province’s cultural landscape, and with your help, we can make sure financial barriers don’t stand in the way of their dreams.
Let’s invest in the next generation of artists—one step, and one dollar, at a time.
Thank you for your support!
