The highlights of the last year for me are centred around events outside Whitehorse as part of the NorthwesTel Hanging Sky Tours. We saw record attendance in Teslin and Watson Lake for William Prince, and seeing the joy on the faces of students in Carmacks, Pelly and Dawson during Tomas Kubinek’s tour was personally very fulfilling. I also recall how electrified our building was during Snotty Nose Rez Kids with most of the audience up dancing with the performers in front of the stage. It was a potent reminder of how we can embrace an audience who wishes to engage with performers beyond sitting in a seat. This is what we are striving to achieve with our programming – to welcome everyone into spaces for live performance; whether through our @YAC Residency Program, Hanging Sky Tours or workshops and events we provide through our local and visiting artists. I look forward to next year’s presentations inside our venues and throughout our beautiful territory.

  • 1 | Page the EVOLUTION of 'IMMERSIVE
    THE EVOLUTION OF ‘IMMERSIVE’ EXHIBTIONS AT THE V&A MUSEUM, LONDON – 2008-2021 By Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh 1. Introduction GCDN members have expressed interest in the potential of ‘immersive’ exhibitions and related ‘experiences’ as programmatic elements that can meet their ambitions for broadening the base of their audiences. Audience analysis does demonstrate that these ‘experiences’ offer the opportunity of a cost-effective option with the ability to attract larger and more diverse audiences. As a result, there is particular curiosity about whether there is a basic underlying methodology, which can, however, create varied outputs that are faithful to the character and mission of their own districts. A comprehensive study of immersive exhibitions would require a book, so, as a starting point, this review examines the experience of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London – where we and colleagues have curated a series of immersive exhibitions over the last fifteen years. It stresses this was an evolutionary journey where skills, opportunities and confidence built up over time. However, the growth of a (semi-) commercial immersive exhibition market over this period means that GCDN members may have the opportunity of short circuiting such a process by connecting to an increasing number of ‘off the peg’ products, systems and creators in the post-Covid world. Sections 2, 3 and 4 trace the evolution as it happened, not simply as a matter of record but also to illustrate the interplay of opportunities, technology, sponsorship and other factors that impacted what was produced. Those seeking a summary overview may best move directly to Section 5 onwards.

  • Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre 2019-2020 Business Strategy Plan
    Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre 2019-2020 Business Strategy Plan “There is a big difference between being undecided and indecisive. The essence of a strategy is choosing what not to do” – Michael Porter, Harvard Business School KOAC 2019-2020 BUSINESS PLAN 1 Executive Summary The beginning of 2019 finds us on an exciting trajectory, assertively advancing in the development of The Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre Society of Calgary (KOAC) after a period of internal reorganization, board and management restructuring, and financial and legal reforms. Although critical for the organizational well-being and to our continued success, the restructuring period forced us to postpone many initiatives during 2018 which the KOAC Board had identified as essential strategic programs and priorities. However, this pause also provided us with the chance to diagnose the Society’s current needs and the goals and objectives to achieve greater effectiveness. To that end, we diligently gained input from past and present Board members, volunteers, external advisors, and subject matter experts, potential donors and, especially, from the Springbank community. Their valuable feedback helped us understand how we can improve "en route" to the development of a clearer and more tactical three-year strategic vision of the future to meet our next challenges with a strong, unified, and focused KOAC. This year, in the short term, we plan to embark on a more aggressive implementation of specific programmatic interventions. KOAC is fully committed to supporting artists and stewarding its landscape, to nurturing and celebrating the relationship between art, nature, and people, and to operating a centre of contemplation and learning, focused on contemporary art.
