OCTOBER 26: Inclusive Spaces with Evie Lavers
Session will include a performance from our Showcasing artists.
How do we make our in-person and online programming more accessible? What barriers could be removed & communicated so the participation of all artists & attendees can be more inclusive? In this session, Evie Lavers from Rhythm Club will share case studies and lessons learnt the hard way from her experiences coordinating 10,000+ person festivals and intimate online events. If you want to increase the diversity of your audience attendance you won’t want to miss this session!
OCTOBER 28: Digital/Hybrid Performances – How do we make money? with Nadine Tremblay, Nicholas Beach and Ronnie Brown
Session will include a performance from our Showcasing artists.
Funders all want us to now do both live and digital programming, so how do we do both with the same resources, and how do we create new revenue streams from digital? Digital has been an effective way to increase social media followers, but with low-to-no associated revenue thus far to offset the new activities. Join us and learn from presenters who have experimented with monetization over the past year in the digital realm. They will share with us what has worked, what hasn’t, and their recommended strategies on how to generate revenue from digital performances.
Questions that will be covered include:
- How do you move from free to ticketed in the digital realm?
- Will audiences continue to want both methods of programming now that live performances are back?
Even though the speakers are from the performing arts, much can be applied to visual arts programming as well.
OCTOBER 29: Growing Audiences through Inclusion & Diversity Programming with Allison Yearwood, Jorge Requena Ramos, Jane Ireland & Jeannie White Bird
Session will include a performance from our Showcasing artists.
There is no doubt that inclusion, diversity, equity, and access are critical priorities of the arts and culture sector. Ethnic and cultural diversity continues to increase in the Canadian population where 29 to 32 percent of Canada’s population could belong to a visible minority group by 2031. This is nearly double the number reported in 2006.
These major demographic changes reinforce why offering innovative programming designed by, for, and led by diverse voices is more important now than ever. Arts and culture organizations often struggle to present relevant and appropriate diverse programming to these growing numbers of potential new audiences. We hope to inspire you with our panel who will try to shine a light and share their processes on how to facilitate the creation of innovative projects designed to reflect the diversity in our communities.
Join our panel discussion featuring Jorge Requena, Artistic Director, West End Cultural Centre; Jane Ireland, Arts Administrator, Killarney-Turtle Mountain Arts Council, Allison Yearwood, Executive Director, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art and Jeannie White Bird, project coordinator of Selkirk art installation honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
