3 Message from the CEO

We also had a renewed emphasis on our territory-wide mandate with our NorthwesTel Hanging Sky Tour, successfully touring to nine Yukon communities, including Gwaandak Theatre, Open Pit Theatre, Diyet and the Love Soldiers, Against The Grain Theatre, Tomas Kubinek, and William Prince. Our school programs and outreach continued to grow, with student matinee performances offered by Gwaandak Theatre, Ramshackle Productions, Against The Grain Theatre, The Good Lovelies, and Compagnie L’Immediat.

This past year we introduced our new @YAC residency program, in response to consultations with our arts community on what new role the Yukon Arts Centre can play to support the Northern cultural sector. The residency program offers in-kind facility and labour support for Yukon theatre and dance producers, and we were thrilled to support eight Yukon artistic companies/collectives in the first year of the program.

Our Visual Arts programming continued to offer remarkable exhibitions and outreach including To Talk With Others, which was the culmination of a two-year development process supported by The Yukon Arts Centre’s 26th season was one the Canada Council for New Chapter Program. We also of new energy, transition, and refocusing as had another successful summer season with Art House in Carcross, we established a new three-year strategic plan, in partnership with Carcross Tagish First Nation, sharing Yukon art identifying our organizational priorities for the with thousands of tourists from around the world. near future.

I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the past year as I transitioned into my new role as Director of Programming and prepared to meet the challenges set out in our new Strategic Plan.

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.
