Territory Acknowledgement The BC Arts Council acknowledges it carries out its work on the traditional territories of Indigenous nations throughout British Columbia. We pay our respects to the Elders, past and present, descendants and custodians of these lands. We honour the knowledge keepers and the continuing relationships with Indigenous people in B.C. that develop through our work together. The BC Arts Council thanks the Lekwungen speaking people and the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations for allowing us to operate our main offices within their traditional territories. MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER

I am pleased to present the BC Arts Council’s 2017/18 Annual Report, which provides an in-depth view of B.C.’s arts and culture sector from April 2017 through March 2018.

British Columbia has a wealth of creativity in communities throughout the province. The BC Arts Council plays an important role in developing that, by working with artists and arts and culture organizations in every region of B.C.

This annual report reflects the extensive reach of the Council, funding creative activities in over 220 communities in B.C. Through its peer-review process, Council assessed 2,648 applications and awarded 1,419 grants. This includes work by Council’s longstanding partners the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, the BC Touring Council, ArtStarts in Schools and Creative BC.

The Council is fortunate to have strong leadership, with Susan Jackson as chair and Jane Brindley as vice-chair. Since I appointed them in January 2018, they have ably guided the organization through the development and implementation of its new strategic plan. Other members appointed in January were: Manjot Bains, Ian Case, Dean Heron and Corinne Hunt. I would like to thank Merla Beckerman (chair 2015-2017) and Lori Marchand (vice-chair 2015- 2017) for their great service to arts and culture in our province.

Our government values the work of the Council. In Budget 2018, the Province increased its support of the BC Arts Council by $15 million over the next three years. This investment gives the agency a total of $29 million in 2018-19 in funding which will

4 BC Arts Council support the work of artists and cultural organizations.

The BC Arts Council is a great asset to our province’s cultural vitality. Through its activities, the Council strengthens opportunities for British Columbians to participate and thrive in the creative economy today and in the future. I look forward to its continued success in nurturing arts and culture in communities all over B.C.

Sincerely,

Lisa Beare Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture

8 BC Arts Council MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Throughout the 2017/18 fiscal year, BC Arts Council supported artistic achievement and public participation in over 200 communities across British Columbia. With funding from the Government of British Columbia, Council awarded over $24 million in assistance to independent artists and a wide range of arts and culture organizations. With this support, the province’s arts and cultural sector engages people and communities across the province, while also being celebrated nationally and internationally. In July 2017, the Honourable Lisa Beare was appointed Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. Since then Minister Beare has worked closely with Council, providing a new vision for the development of the arts and culture sector. In December, Minister Beare hosted a unique gathering of B.C. artists to discuss two arts mandate commitments: to double investment in the BC Arts Council and to establish an arts infrastructure fund. Both commitments acknowledge the essential role arts and culture plays in the lives of British Columbians and the significant influence of the sector at the core of the creative economy. In January 2018, I was appointed chair of the BC Arts Council’s 15 member Council, having served as a member since 2016. The appointed Council members serve as the overall governing body, providing strategic direction, policy direction and granting oversight to the BC Arts Council. Council members represent the regions, cultural diversity and artistic communities of British Columbia. I would like to express my gratitude to my predecessor Merla Beckerman, and to vice-chair Lori Marchand, whose terms both concluded in 2017 after many years of service to Council. Other Council member departures this past year included Claudia Blair, Thomas Cannell, Gordon Harris and Cindy Marcotte. We thank them all for their commitment and dedication to arts and culture in B.C. We are also very pleased to welcome our newly appointed Council members Manjot Bains, Jane Brindley (vice-chair), Ian Case, Dean Heron and Corrine Hunt. These individuals

2017/18 Annual Report 9 represent a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, and we look forward to the tremendous expertise and energy they will bring to Council. One of the Council members’ core responsibilities is to oversee the BC Arts Council’s strategic direction, and developing a new Strategic Plan for 2018-2022 was an important focus this past year. Council formed a Strategic Planning Committee, and together with staff they began work on the plan in early 2017, incorporating the findings of three years of staff consultations across the province, as well as the results from the minister’s community consultation later in the year. The plan will be launched in June 2018 and will create a new foundation for the Council, guided by the principles of sustainability, equity, diversity, access and reconciliation. This past year, in response to the United Nations Declaration “In delivering all on the Rights of Indigenous People (2008) and the Truth of its programs, and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action the work of the (published in July 2015), Council staff continued its regular BC Arts Council meetings and training sessions led by Indigenous staff is anchored members focused on the history and legacy of Canada’s by a strong colonial past. commitment to the This resulted in considerable personal and professional peer review process” development for the team as well as the revitalization of Council members’ Indigenous Engagement Committee, which will consider new initiatives to support Indigenous artists and organizations. This complements the funding partnership the Council has with the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, supporting the unique role of Indigenous artists and communities throughout the province through the delivery of the Aboriginal Arts Development Awards and the Aboriginal Youth Engaged in the Arts programs. In delivering all of its programs, the work of the BC Arts Council is anchored by a strong commitment to the peer review process. Through this process, Council makes informed and impartial decisions, while upholding principles of fairness and transparency as well as freedom of thought and expression. In 2017/18, 145 artists, arts administrators, academics and other cultural professionals from across the province ensured that Council funding was distributed through a neutrally administered peer review process. These advisors assess applications, determine

10 BC Arts Council the successful candidates and set levels of funding. In total, advisors reviewed 2,648 applications and recommended funding for 1,419 recipients. We thank everyone who gave their valuable time and expertise to serve on a jury or panel over the past year. I would also like to thank my appointed colleagues on Council as well as the Council staff, in particular the leadership provided by executive director Gillian Wood and director Sarah Durno, for their exemplary work and contributions over this past year. We are extremely fortunate to have such a dynamic, innovative and diverse arts and cultural community in British Columbia. We look forward to charting a new course in 2018/19, with a bold new vision. Sincerely,

Susan Jackson Chair BC Arts Council

In accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the Arts Council Act, we present this report on behalf of the BC Arts Council, reporting on activities of Council from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018.

2017/18 Annual Report 11 OBSERVATIONS THE ADJUDICATION PROCESS Through careful consideration of committee and jury composition, Council strives to reflect the province’s wide range of cultural practices as well as its geographic and demographic diversity. Adjudicators are selected from both our client base and submitted nominations based on their experience and expertise, which enables them to make an informed assessment about the work in a particular art form or area within the arts sector. This selection process ensures Council has access to a wide array of working artists and arts administrators. Further information on nominating adjudicators for consideration can be found on the BC Arts Council website. Further to assessing applications, determining the successful candidates and setting levels of funding, the peer review adjudication process includes discussions regarding the changing priorities, needs and challenges within the arts and cultural sector. This vital information provides Council with the added knowledge to respond to emerging trends with evidence-based policies and carefully crafted programs. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES Each year, Council undertakes extensive program reviews to explore ways of improving efficiencies, maximizing limited resources and increasing effectiveness in program delivery. In 2016/17, alongside First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC), Council reviewed the Aboriginal Arts Development Awards (AADA), through a series of consultations in 10 communities around the province (Williams Lake, Prince George, Vancouver, Chilliwack, Victoria, Courtenay, Tofino, Kelowna, Prince Rupert and Fort St. John). The Firelight Group was contracted to assist with this review and provided Council with a report in the spring of 2017. Reported findings included the following community-identified needs: • Training and mentorship • Connections and spaces • Promotion, outreach and engagement • Financial support and compensation

12 BC Arts Council While the primary focus of the review was on the AADA program, several considerations emerging from the report have had direct implications on the work and strategic direction of the BC Arts Council.

2017/18 Annual Report 13 SECTOR EXPERTISE Summary of points made by the discipline advisory committees during the 2017/18 year include: Artistic Achievement Continuing recognition of B.C.’s bold artistic activity across disciplines, both within the province and abroad, dominates the conversation around the peer adjudication tables. Vital partnerships between organizations and artists are seen to flourish in an environment that supports artistic innovation, risk-taking and diversity. Indigenous art and culture is celebrated and honoured throughout the province, and revered for the richness and strength of traditional and contemporary practice in all its forms. Community Engagement Advisory committees noted the challenges faced by arts organizations to continually renew their audiences while still retaining participants in a global environment that offers countless ways to connect and celebrate arts and culture. There has been a significant increase of new initiatives, particularly in regional and rural communities, to locally engage families and youth, as well as a renewed focus on cultural tourism to attract and engage visitors from other parts of Canada and abroad. There is still much work to be done in addressing recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action for many organizations. Additional steps are needed across the sector to further goals of equity, diversity and access, both culturally and geographically, in order to remove barriers for all underserved groups throughout the province. Organizational Capacity Committees observed that improved infrastructure is a priority for many organizations and artists throughout B.C. The development of partnerships and creation of collaborative spaces continue to enable the expansion and renovation of existing facilities to accommodate increased programming and activities. Leadership training and succession planning are a priority for many arts and cultural organizations. In addition, strengthening commitments and developing policies around equity, diversity and access as well as respectful workplaces, are seen as critical to the continued sustainability of the sector.

14 BC Arts Council Overall, committee members recognized the significant contributions artists and arts and culture organizations continue to make to their communities, traditional Indigenous territories and the rich, vibrant land we now know as British Columbia.
