Arts and the city: Meet the new breed of impresario taking Vancouver culture to the cusp
Vancouver’s ebullient arts scene is expanding, shifting and changing.
Underneath the surface, key individuals are boldly shaping new trends, embracing community and collaboration, and discovering local talent.
They are curators, promoters, managers and masterminds, and their involvement isn’t limited to their own fields: It involves breaking down barriers and seeking out new and exciting opportunities, bridging the gap between art forms, performers and their audiences; between technology and tradition, the new and the old.
They are not content with doing their own thing in their own corner, to think of Vancouver as “provincial” or “small-minded” or a “no fun city.”
They are the new movers and shakers of the Vancouver arts scene — the new impresarios, if you will — and they want to put their venues, their artists and their city on the map.
