fund for artists in the territory during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the department overseeing the money. The territorial government will now award a total of $336,873 to artists in the territory through the recovery fund. The increase comes after a complaint that the territorial government's emergency money for artists didn't go far enough and was handled opaquely. He had called out NWT Arts, a government-run program promoting artists in the territory, after two of his projects were turned down. - Patrick Jacobson, N.W.T.
