Com­mu­nity arts orga­ni­za­tions come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small one-person oper­a­tions. Oth­ers may be larger and have boards and advi­sory com­mit­tees. Some have staff while oth­ers are vol­un­teer run. Some have been around a long time. Oth­ers are just get­ting started…

Wher­ever your orga­ni­za­tion is on this spec­trum, some basic ques­tions about sur­vival and sus­tain­abil­ity come up.
How do we stay rel­e­vant dur­ing chang­ing times in our soci­ety?
Who is our audi­ence, and what are some new ways to reach them?
How do we max­i­mize our rev­enue streams in today’s com­pet­i­tive cul­tural mar­ket­place?
In essence, how can we not only sur­vive but thrive into the future?

The Regional Cul­tural Devel­op­ment Advi­sory Com­mit­tee and Metro Van­cou­ver, would like to invite you to par­tic­i­pate in a one-day cul­tural “world café” style ses­sion where these ques­tions and oth­ers will stim­u­late dis­cus­sion. This is a net­work­ing oppor­tu­nity to share infor­ma­tion on the state of Lower Main­land com­mu­nity arts orga­ni­za­tions today, with a look toward devel­op­ing sus­tain­able mod­els for tomorrow.

At the end of the ses­sion, your input will help fos­ter a series of regional work­shops which will explore solu­tions to these issues.

When: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd from 9:00 am — 3:00 pm

Where: THE COLUMBIA THEATRE, 530 Colum­bia Street, New West­min­ster (Colum­bia Sky­train Sta­tion)
Cost: $20 per person*(includes morn­ing refresh­ments and lunch)
* Reg­is­tra­tion is lim­ited to 150 peo­ple and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Only online reg­is­tra­tions will be accepted. There will be no at-the-door reg­is­tra­tions on the day of the event.
