PRESIDENT’SMESSAGESince artsPlace first opened in 2015, we’ve been increasingly amazed at how engaged Bow Valley residents are in their local arts and culture. We see it every day, in your enthusiastic participation at packed events and programs and the energy you bring to our community hub for art and creativity.

In 2018, more than 23,000 community members registered for our programs, performances, screen-ings, events and exhibitions. Whether they’re one-time live shows or long-running art workshops, these initiatives were created for you, and they continue to evolve based on your feedback.

Last year, we reached out to you even more directly through a community consultation survey, which will help guide future programming. Although we’re still assessing the large volume of re-sults, we’re thrilled to hear your positive feedback. It proved to us that artsPlace has struck the right chord in this community; that we’re successfully providing arts and culture programming you’ve long craved. We are very excited for the future and the incredible opportunities we see before us.

If there was one message that came through loud and clear, it’s that we should strive to expand the breadth of our programming even further and engage more people and groups throughout our com-munity. Indeed, that’s been our mission from the beginning; to cultivate arts and culture throughout the Bow Valley and ensure all residents appreciate creativity as a vital part of their daily lives.

If you read the inspiring stories in this report, we think you’ll agree we’re already making that hap-pen. You’ll hear from emerging artists who’ve been inspired to take their next big step in honing their craft, and about exciting new ways to engage children and youth, so they get to feel their first profound spark of creativity or fuel an already existing fire. You’ll also learn about budding new relationships with Bow Valley Indigenous communities that is shining a deserving spotlight on talented Stoney Nakoda artists while building essential bridges through cross-cultural learning.

In all of the above, our goal is to develop vital, impactful programs that can be sustained long-term. And by enhancing our revenue streams and increasing our capacity, we’re now facilitating more accessible and inclusive programs than ever before.

We sincerely thank you for your enthusiasm and support—without it, none of this would be possi-ble. We also want to thank you for being an active partner in helping us grow and evolve. Together, we’re creating this diverse and vibrant community space that’s transforming lives through arts and creativity!

A HUB FOR ART & CREATIVITY

CANMORE FESTIVAL OF ART AND CREATIVITY

Outdoor performances from local musicians and Stoney Nakoda dancers; one-of-a-kind works from makers and artisans across disciplines; workshops covering everything from spin bike painting to papermaking to upcycle challenges to hula-hoop-ing – this and more awaited the Bow Valley com-munity at the annual Canmore Festival of Art and Creativity in September 2018!

An Alberta Culture Days celebration site, this community-wide event packs all that’s great about artsPlace into three exciting days, featuring a full schedule of free workshops, performances and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Funding generously provided by: Department of Ca-nadian Heritage and Alberta Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with support from the Town of Canmore and many local businesses and volunteers.

VIC LEWIS BAND FESTIVAL

Affectionately known as “The Vic” in the Bow Valley, Alber-ta’s largest high school band festival attracts more than 1,200 students from across the province. The three-day event in November gives students a chance to perform in front of a large audience and work with international-ly-renowned guest instructors, while Canmore streets and businesses thrive on the influx of enthusiastic visitors.

Generously supported by: Eleanor Benham, Bremner Engineering & Construction Ltd, Canadian Rockies Public Schools, Clique Hotels, Crossway Community Church, Long & McQuade, Olde Tyme Candy Shoppe and many other local businesses and volunteers

Special thanks to the Festival Producer Tracey Wilkins, and the Artistic Director Mike Sakatch.

The RISE program offers three Alberta artists each year the opportunity to educate, exhibit, sell, and promote their artistic practice within the Bow Valley. By pairing emerging artists with a men-tor and local art professional, RISE is actively helping to foster our next generation of artists.

In an ongoing effort to ensure our programming is accessible to everyone in the Bow Valley, artsPlace continued its partnership with the Town of Canmore through the Affordable Services Program, and with the Town of Banff through the Banff Access Card, to help bring arts programming to all Bow Valley residents – providing subsidies for the arts valued at more than $15,000 last year alone.

Major support for the Discover Art Fund provided by Robert and Priscilla Janes, with additional funding from ATB Financial

Every Sunday, artsPlace is full of family-friendly art-making activities inspired by the season, art history, artsPlace exhibitions, and the holidays. These free weekly art workshops, activities, and performances offer our community the perfect opportunity to spend time together as a family in a creative way.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

SuperNormalArtists Artist Roland Rollinmud Dancer Noah Pegram

Tasina Pope


Morley resident Tasina Pope, a member of the Chiniki First Nation, sees herself as an “edgewalker” – someone who walks between worlds and is able to build bridges between them.

For the past couple years, Tasina has been putting that to the test while playing an instrumental role with artsPlace in developing Indigenous Connections – a program that aims to close the gaps that exist between Morley and the rest of the arts and culture community in the Bow Valley.

A lack of accessibility and opportunity has often hindered Stoney Nakoda artists from sharing their work with larger audience, says Tasina, and that limits their ability to receive the credit (and compensation) they deserve. “We have so many talented people here,” she adds. “It’s just a matter of giving them the opportunity to get their work out there. I see myself as a tool to make it happen and help create that positive change.”

In 2018, Tasina’s efforts helped spur a massive increase in art and content by First Nations artists at artsPlace, including a new film and discussion series that elevates Indigenous voices to centre stage, and an annual exhibit on National Indigenous People’s Day, featur-ing Treaty 7 artists. “The exhibit and other initiatives give these artists a platform to present their work and develop their portfolios,” she says. “It’s an excellent stepping stone.”

But Indigenous Connections is not just about the arts, it’s also about cross-cultural learning – an essential element in building bridges between communities. When artsPlace launched a couple of new Stoney language and culture programs last year – one taught by Elder Buddy Wesley and the other, called “Tea and Bannock,” led by Elder Una Wesley – both were wildly popular. It clearly showed there’s a growing thirst to learn from each other and huge demand for more of these kinds of programs in the future.

Tasina says a real trust is developing from these cultural exchanges, but there’s still so much more we can do. “This is how Reconciliation happens,” she says. “It’s about being part of a wider community.”

Special thanks to our Indigenous Connections liaison Wanda Ellerbeck for her invaluable work and expertise on this project.

A BRIDGE BETWEEN CULTURES

Indigenous Connections: Looking AheadSince the program launched in 2017, Indigenous Connections has led to a surge of First Nations programming at artsPlace – from captivating Indigenous works in film, theatre, visual arts, dancing and drumming, to enlightening cross-cul-tural learning programs in Stoney language and culture. As we forge ahead in 2019 and beyond, the program will continue to grow, with efforts to further incorporate youth and art education out-reach in Morley through The Youth Arts Collective and the RISE Emerging Artist Program.

artsPlace would like to thank the following supporters for their generous contributions to the Indigenous Connec-tions Program: ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS, ROBERT AND PRISCILLA JANES, THE ROZSA FOUNDATION and an anonymous donor.

“I would like to thank the whole team at artsPlace for what is being created: a hub of creativity, community building and education.”

THE YOUTH ARTS COLLECTIVE

Mentorship is an integral component of arts education at artsPlace, and this is espe-cially true for our youth programming. In an effort to engage youth in arts programs and provide them with artistic opportunities in an accessible way, we created the Youth Arts Collective - free activities in visual arts, ceramics and mixed media, guided by experienced artist mentors like Jenn Poirier. These collaborative activities engage youths aged 13 to 18 who are looking for an artistic outlet to explore their creative interests in a supportive and fun environment.

Jenn Poirier has always been in touch with her creative side – she’s got a fine arts degree in theatre and has been honing her ceramics skills for almost two decades.

But ever since moving to Canmore in 2003, she found herself searching for new ways to delve deeper into the burgeoning arts community closer to home. “I was so thrilled when artsPlace opened because there wasn’t anything like it here before,” Jenn recalls. “It’s an amazing community gathering space where artists co-mingle and learn from each other.”

In many ways, artsPlace was like a springboard for Jenn’s arts career, which has blos-somed to become her full-time vocation. Before she established her own kiln and studio, Jenn was a member of artsPlace’s Independent Open Studio, which gives emerging artists an accessible space to work and a kiln to fire their pieces. “So many people want to do this, but they don’t have the space to get into it at home,” she says. “That’s why artsPlace is so important – it’s like a breeding ground for artists.”

With a background in education and extensive teaching skills to draw upon, Jenn contin-ues to help encourage new artists by leading ceramics workshops at artsPlace for pretty much every age and skill level. She says it’s wonderful to see the enthusiasm of new par-ticipants, some having never touched clay before: “You get to see this progression from students just beginning to learn, to skilled artists who’ve gained enough experience that they can turn around and teach beginners – it’s so inspiring.”

For Jenn, having that opportunity to give back to the community as a mentor is just one more way to improve her craft. “Having to articulate in an accessible way to students what I am doing and why forces me to dissect my own techniques and, in turn, enhances my skills,” she says. “I get to learn from my students while teaching them.”

MAKING ARTS ACCESSIBLE


We all know kids won’t do much on demand, especially if you ask them to dance. But that wasn’t a problem when Grizzly Bear Shakedown took the stage at artsPlace during a Christmas-themed concert in December 2018.

The musical collaboration featured Andrew Cotter, from local folk-rock favourites Elk Run & Riot, and Andrei Dandridge-Evancio, who’s played songs for youth at daycares and schools throughout the Bow Valley. Both musicians know from experience how to get kids moving and this show even featured a dedicated dancing space just for kids, so they could boogie sans parents.

The talented duo says they were thrilled to team up with artsPlace because it was a collaborative experience right from the beginning. “With artsPlace it’s not like, ‘we’ll provide a venue and you’re on your own,’” says Andrew, who’s played at artsPlace before as a solo act and with Elk Run & Riot. “They help with all the logistical and organizational stuff and just let the performer concentrate on the show.”

After playing shows throughout Canmore, Banff and surrounding towns for years, Andrew says it was a huge boost for local acts when artsPlace opened up, and that it filled a gap in the live music scene. “Everyone who comes there, comes for the show,” he says. “It’s not like they’re out for dinner or beers and a band shows up – when people see a live band at artsPlace, they’re coming for the music.”

As for Andrei, an accomplished music teacher and music therapy special-ist, he’s organized school piano recitals at artsPlace for the last few years, and brings a high level of musicianship to every performance. “It’s an amazing venue to play,” he says. “The theatre setting elevates the sound and the mood, and really allows you to create a positive experience.”

Both Andrew and Andrei are musical fixtures in the Bow Valley commu-nity, and will continue to thrive in its small-town, big-culture vibe. As for Grizzly Bear Shakedown, it was a highly successful show that will likely come to artsPlace again. “It’s such a great community gathering space,” says Andrei. “I have a feeling it was the highest popcorn sales artsPlace ever had,” adds Andrew with a laugh.

SUPPORTING LIVE MUSICWe would like to take this opportunity to thank our generous live music sponsors for their passion and commitment to bringing exceptional live performances to Canmore.

“We have a fundamental belief at McElhanney that the Arts are a cornerstone of community and we are very proud to be a sponsor of artsPlace. Live music is an art form that speaks to all people. The di-verse mix of music that artsPlace brings to Canmore has benefitted and strengthened our community as a whole.”

– Ron Sadesky, McElhanney

BRINGING THE HOUSE DOWN

Folk & roots music at artsPlace is supported by McElhanney, Canmore’s local engineering and survey company. Jazz music is supported by Louise Fuller, Realtor/Associate, RE/MAX Alpine Realty.

“I love having artsPlace in our community! I’m frequently surprised by the caliber of performers that we are able to see up close, live, in our intimate venue.”

2018/19 COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

In the fall of 2018, artsPlace embarked on a comprehensive community consultation process with these three goals in mind:

• To assess support for existing programs being offered;• To assess support for future programming options;• To address potential barriers to program participation.

The first stage of the consultation included two surveys to engage the public in current and future program plan-ning. One short survey (10 questions) was distributed at artsPlace as well as at various public events, another long survey (24 questions) was distributed online.

The second and final stage of the consultation included three focus groups which tar-geted audiences who were underrepresented in the public survey. These focus groups included men from the Bow Valley, youth aged 13-17, and young adults aged 18-34.

The community consultation concluded in February 2019. In total, 369 short surveys and 770 long surveys were completed, and 34 community members participated in focus groups.

In all, we are overwhelmed by the community’s positive response to artsPlace as the hub for art education and celebration, and we are immensely grateful for the passion and dedication with which community members choose to engage with arts and creativity in its many various forms. We look forward to working together with Bow Valley residents to build on our successes and continue to fill the needs of this creative community.

RESULTS

Current Programming

Respondents rated artsPlace very highly in all aspects of programming delivery.

• Movies and live performances are popular with all demographic groups.

• Respondents aged 18-34 were most interested in ceramics, visual arts, Indigenous programs, crafts, live performances and movies.

• Respondents aged 35-49 were most interested in drama and family focused programs.

• Respondents aged 65+ were most interested in movies, live performances, and fibre arts.

• Live performances, movies, visual arts and photography were of most interest to men.

• Youth aged 13-17 showed a high level of interest in crafts, ceramics, photography, painting and theatre production.

• Indigenous programming was requested multiple times by different demographics.

Future Programming

Some of the programs not currently offered at artsPlace that received a high level of interest are:

• Woodworking• Glasswork • Digital arts and film editing• Professional development

Respondents who had never attended programs at artsPlace were highly interested in programs that are not currently offered. Respondents who were inter-ested in young adult programming and respondents aged 18-34 were more interested than average in all the proposed new programming options.

Barriers to attending programs

Barriers addressed in the survey and in the focus groups included:

• A lack of familiarity with artsPlace programs • A lack of time and scheduling conflicts • Being new to town or a visitor • Program affordability

Ultimately, Bow Valley residents have many options of what to do with their free time. There is a definite interest in creating art and exploring creativity, especially if it can be done on a casual basis. One-off workshops that end with a tangible result are in high demand as a low-commitment introduction to new forms of expression.
