I have just attended the two-day BC Arts Summit in Vancouver. The purpose was to build a cultural policy framework for the province. Of course this is just the beginning of the work. Part one is to identify the needs of the arts community, the tools needed to move the process forward and the people who should be at the table. Big discussion, and lots of mind-blowing ideas. Inspiring keynote by Richard Evans speaking about our new fluid sector, where there used to be value in stability and structure. With the world changing so fast, we have to be willing to take risks, fail, learn and try again. We’ve gone a few steps here, I feel good about our progress in the last two years. Now we start again, building more relationships, finding new paths, innovating and exploring.
