Succession and Transition Planning Workshop Led by Jennifer DeDominicis of Distill Consulting Presented by the Rozsa Foundation, Calgary Arts Development, and the Calgary Foundation Registration required - FREE Many of our arts organizations are challenged by questions of future leadership and supporting transitions to enable future sustainability and stability. Planning for succession and leadership transition is not a singular event, but one of many practices organizations can undertake over time to enable greater resilience, relevance, and empowered transformation. This workshop is intended to help arts organizations proactively develop a basic framework for planning and integrating ongoing practices to design for transitions, well ahead of time. Hear from other organizations undertaking succession/transition planning and learn about their experiences. Together, we will identify key considerations adapted to your context, map and benchmark competencies and resources for development and knowledge transfer, and generate a draft sequence that you can take back to your organization to prototype and test. Purpose & Objectives -Orient arts organizations to succession and transition planning -Demystify the work and share/promote knowledge transfer -Connect members of the community -Empower participants to engage with developing a strategy for their own organization and offer tools/resources for starting For more details and for registration : https://lnkd.in/gJtUTyEA . . . #art #artists #yycarts #alberta #community #rozsafoundation #arts #workshop

Sue Shane Tsomondo: 2024 Recipient of the Rozsa Foundation Emerging Arts Manager Award The Rozsa Foundation Emerging Arts Manager Award recognizes an individual in the early stages of their arts management career who has shown that their work significantly impacts the arts community. The recipient is recognized for their achievements to date and for their potential future impact. We first learned of Sue-Shane and her work through Sue’s Stokvel, a literary platform she founded to uplift Black & Indigenous authors. She has since joined Mountain Standard Time (M:ST) as Executive Director just as the organization had decided to move on from their signature biennial festival. This left M:ST at an identity crossroads, and Sue-Shane has managed to forge new pathways forward and shape a new artistic identity by building amazing partnerships and developing artist residencies in printmaking and music, among many other exciting initiatives. Sue Shane did this while solidifying operational structures within the organization, prioritizing paying fair wages to artists and contractors, planning pathways for digital equity, and centering care, respect, transparency, and knowledge sharing within the organization and the community M:ST serves. Congratulations Shue Shane, we can't wait to watch your career continue to unfold and your impact on our community deepen with time. #rozsafoundation #artsmanagement #artsleadership #art #artists #yycarts #alberta #community

Heads up! Our office is closed on Monday, October 14th to give our team plenty of time to eat way too much turkey (and maybe recover from it). We hope you have a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!

Congratulations to all the incredible finalists for Canada's most prestigious theatre award, especially Calgary’s own The Old Trout Puppet Workshop! The Old Trout Puppet Workshop began as a humble endeavor to create puppets while living off the land. Initially performing for a local audience of cowboys and Hutterites, their success at Calgary’s High-Performance Rodeo ignited a deep ambition. Over the past two decades, they've evolved from their rural roots to a bustling operation in Calgary, employing many and producing various shows and artistic works. Their productions have toured Canada, the U.S., and Europe, and they also engage in diverse creative projects, including sculptures, films, and design work for major institutions. “There is a magic in seeing a dead thing breathe that speaks to an older, cave-bred part of us – which is to say, there is wonder in it, and that’s the other side of our design philosophy, the thing we’re striving for: we are founded with the timorous desire to conjure joy, as much as we might. The theatre we aim to make is superfluous, unnecessary, and exuberant, in the face of the wintery world.” - Old Trout Puppet Workshop, Finalist We can't wait to see who will take home this year's prize!Catch the announcement of the laureate on December 2, 2024 at 7 pm ET, along with the premiere of the finalists' documentaries. Best of luck to all the finalists Learn more : https://lnkd.in/gzrYDhp5 Reposted photo from Siminovitch Prize's instagram page
