This August, 2018, five Ontario Presents members joined a Canadian delegation of artists, presenters, and arts professionals to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Ontario Presents and its member presenting organizations recognize the importance of presenting Indigenous artists, stories and culture as part of their presenting practice. As we continue to encourage the respectful presentation of Indigenous art, we will be featuring an Indigenous artist each month in our e-newsletter and blog. Our sincere thanks to Denise Bolduc for conceiving of and continuing to support this Spotlight Series.

The Ontario Presents 2018 Spring Retreat took place in Kingston, Ontario. Big thanks to the City of Kingston and the Grand Theatre, and particularly to Jayson Duggan and Jenny Pedler, for hosting!

Kingston is situated on the traditional territory of Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples and we were grateful to be able to gather on that land.

During our annual Spring Retreat this past June, our hosts at the City of Kingston/The Grand Theatre arranged a showcase of four fantastic artists from our host city.

We thought we’d take the opportunity to share a bit about these artists here on our blog.

Thank you to all of the artists for sharing their talent with us, and to Jayson Duggan for organizing the show!

Ontario Presents is an active network of members who are engaged both in their own unique projects and in Ontario Presents programs. As a network, we are focused on connecting and sharing information with each other, but we are not always aware of what our fellow members are up to. That’s why we’ve recently launched the OP Update blog series, which will provide periodic check-ins with an OP member or program.
