Part 2: Facing the Future - A Collective Arts Strategy
May 27, 2020 Mapping Our Road to Recovery is a four-part online discussion series being presented by the Institute of Southern Georgian Bay , Town of Collingwood, and On the Bay Magazine/New Classical 102.9FM.
The series was launched on May 6 and 95 people participated in the first event. The concept for this series resonates with many people as we see innovations developing, businesses retooling, new roles for philanthropy emerging, and recovery task forces being set up across the region.
On Wednesday, May 27, 4:30-6pm, Part 2: Facing the Future - A Collective Arts Strategy will feature speakers from the major sectors of business, nonprofit/charitable, government, and philanthropy.
Arts & Culture straddles all four sectors and is a key economic driver for municipalities across the country and around the world. It is a magnet for tourism, hospitality-related businesses, and next generation innovators.
Participants will receive a Zoom link to join in via their confirmation of registration email.
Speakers include:
• Arts & Culture Report Highlights: Sarah Filion, Matilda Swanson Gallery, Clarksburg
• Business Sector: Robert Ketchin, Partner, Georgian Hills Vineyards and Managing Director, Ketchin Marketing, Blue Mountains
• Nonprofit/Charitable Sector: Robert Uhrig, Board of Directors, Meaford Culture Foundation
• Government Sector: Jennifer Parker, Coordinator, Community Well-being & Inclusion, Collingwood
• Philanthropic Sector: Stuart Reid, Executive Director, Community Foundation Grey Bruce
Speakers will discuss connections between sectors, highlights from the recently released Arts & Culture Report, lessons learned from the pandemic, and what we need to be thinking about as we invest in stabilization, recovery, and growth for our integrated economy.
Attendees will comment on report themes and speaker highlights which resonate most, why the ideas are important, and what actions are recommended.
This crisis has underscored the reality that our major sectors are interconnected and our economy and well-being depend on all the sectors working together. An integrated approach to recovery will provide the most sustainable results.
