ECONOMIC SUMMIT PRESENTS…
Magic Happens When Arts & Business Converge
Over the past two years, the Vancouver Island arts community has come together in unprecedented numbers to examine how the sector can grow it’s impact and sustainability. These meetings culminated in the first-ever Arts Impact Study for the super-region, finalized in early October 2021.
Join the ‘Magic Happens Where Arts and Business Converge’ session at the hybrid ‘State of the Island’ Economic Summit to discover the findings from the study. This session will also allow for an open a dialogue about opportunities for integrated, strategic collaboration between the arts and business sectors.
