This panel brings together cultural leaders, arts administrators, and consultants to discuss the future of arts management in the Canadian arts ecosystem. It asks what it means to build an “ecology” of arts managers that supports diverse needs, practices, and communities. Framed through the concept of ecology, the conversation explores relationships that shape the arts, including those between consultants, arts workers, artists, organizations, funders, and other stakeholders.

In a country defined by geographic scale and cultural diversity, arts management extends beyond organizational leadership to creating conditions where creativity can thrive across contexts. Panelists working at different levels of the cultural sector will share insights into current challenges, emerging needs, and future possibilities for arts workers, managers, and consultants. Topics include: mentorship, capacity building, and strategies for fostering both practical tools and long-term sectoral change.

Designed for arts leaders, administrators, and students, this session invites reflection on how to support future generations of arts management practitioners and build a more inclusive, sustainable, and dynamic arts management ecology in Canada.

Moderator: Sabrina Richard
Speakers: Michelle Yeung, Joyce Rosario, and Victoria Steele
