In the afternoon artists, agents and managers were welcomed to join presenters for lunch and the afternoon sessions.
Warren Garrett opened the afternoon sessions with the summary of sector’s conditions based on the recently conducted member survey on personal, professional and organizational wellness.

Members asked questions, provided feedback and shared truly exciting stories about their work. They also had a chance to discuss future plans and talk about how they can work together to ensure a relevant and sustainable performing arts sector.
The day ended with a facility tour offered by our generous host, Rob Mackay. Members explored a backstage peek of the theatre spaces, while learning about the history of the facility’s evolution and design.
