Whistler: WAC and MY Place Society join forces
To the average arts patron, Maurice Young Millennium Place (MY Place) has probably seemed rather quiet over the past year and half, with only a few public events staged there. But there has been plenty going on behind the scenes, as staff from MY Place and Whistler Arts Council (WAC) have been hashing out a plan to merge the two organizations into one.
The merger rose from a functional review of operations funded by WAC and the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) that took place in fall 2008, which made a number of recommendations, including the key suggestion that MY Place and WAC merge.
That recommendation did not come as a surprise to Doti Niedermayer, executive director of WAC. In fact, she saw it as an important first step towards growing the local arts community.
“I believe that a healthy arts community involves numerous groups and organizers and presenters and organizers and passionate people,” she said.
