Dora follows in the footsteps of Jan Skene, who has managed the program for the past five years. Thank you, Jan, for five years of inspiration, buckets of enthusiasm, humour, and the odd, off the wall comment or two. Jan played her role with grace and style – helping to build the profile of her programs while increasing the overall awareness of Creative Manitoba. We wish Jan well in her early “retirement” and want to say thank you for raising the bar and consistently encouraging us to grow as an organization and as a group of individuals.

In the image detail, we see a close up of a lawyer's office-floor scattered with crumbled papers and bags of money, the booted feet of one a villager visiting the lawyer is seen above. The bottom half of the graphic is text on a white background divided into two columns. The first column reads "FREE WEBINAR!" (black text) ARTIST TAXES" (seafoam green text).
