I have a new role with the Canada Council for the Arts at their southern Alberta Arts Liaison consultant. 

 

                    "The Alberta Focus Initiative is a two-year commitment that aims to strengthen engagement and        collaboration with Alberta’s vibrant arts community, as well as to deepen the Council’s understanding of the community’s unique realities. Two Alberta-based arts liaison consultants will establish an on-the-ground presence for the Canada Council in Alberta. The consultants will engage with communities across the province to increase awareness of and access to funding opportunities and provide the Council with field intelligence.They will ensure that meaningful support is accessible to a diverse range of artists and arts organizations, particularly in communities that have been historically underserved."

​

As part of my role with the Canada Council, I will be interacting with rural Alberta communities, and the urban and rural Indigenous Alberta arts community, and the southern Alberta communities directly and in person, providing information on granting programs and funding opportunities and looking for ways to make Alberta artists voices heard.
