TRUCK Gallery Presents:
Off the Record: A Conversation About Arts Development
June 18, 2009 @ 7:00pm
Truck Gallery, The Grain Exchange (Lower Level), 815 1st Street SW

Featuring Dr. Terry Rock, Ph.D., President and CEO of Calgary Arts Development and Holly Simon, B.F.A., Community Investment Officer at Calgary Arts Development

An artist/artist-run veteran and a strategy-management-creative-generalist talk about the work of Calgary Arts Development, particularly the opportunities, dilemmas and absurdities of life in this field.  The conversation will touch on the current and future activities of CADA, where we think we're making a difference (and where we hope to make more of a difference); the fun and folly of navigating and translating between and among artistic, business, and political worlds; and our belief that the future of the arts in Calgary is incredibly promising, but that promise starts with a confident, resilient and supportive community of artists.
