Hey Twitter friends - I was honoured to be interviewed for this podcast recently and happy it forced me to reflect on my career and the role of art and culture in catalyzing change. podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL…

There are so many people to thank for their support of me and Artscape over the years. Once we are allowed to gather again, I look forward to celebrating with the Artscape community all of the things we have been able to achieve together.

While I will always be an Artscaper at heart, I am excited about the prospect of reinventing myself in the next chapter of my career. I will continue in my role until early 2021, as Artscape transitions to new leadership.

I am very happy to announce that I will be stepping down as Artscape’s CEO. I feel tremendously honoured to have served in this role for the last 22 years. It has been very rewarding to have been part of Artscape’s growth and expanding impact.

I'm excited to be getting ready to announce a group of outstanding volunteers and staff alumni, who we are inducting into @Artscape’s Wall of Fame tonight at our first Alumni Network event! So pleased to be honouring this amazing group of Extraordinary Leaders and Unsung Heroes!

Last week, I had the pleasure of sharing thoughts around #creativeplacemaking at #MakePlaceforCulture, hosted by @cityofSydney. Working with cultural planners & leaders, it’s possible to make meaningful change in ways we develop cities as more inclusive & vibrant places to live.

So pleased to have been able to share @Artscape’s work in #creativeplacemaking with city leaders and strategists at the @cityofSydney 2050 summit!

Many partners working together to create an amazing Creativity Hub in the Weston-Mount Dennis w/ @timjones0001 @LoriAnnGirvan @JohnTory @FrancesNunziata @BradMBradford @CityPlanTO @Metrolinx

Great civic leadership of Jack Winberg of @Rockport_Group and @Artscape ‘s @timjones0001 in making this exciting residential & cultural project happen. #westoncommon

Artscape Weston Common has been 10 years in the making and would not be possible without the following supporters: Suri Weinberg-Linsky, Marlene McKintosh, Rosa Fracassa, Laura Alderson, Paulina O’Kieffe, Shine Chung, Debra Baptiste, Mike Fenton, and Shadya Yasin. Thank you!

I’m thrilled to be at Artscape Weston Common’s grand opening today. Thanks to the many partners who made @Artscape’s newest community cultural hub and Weston community redevelopment possible!
