Ilisarniq Workshop: Careers in the Arts

Thursday, January 26, 2023
2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
(EDT)

In Collaboration With: 
Inuit Futures

Kick off the new year with inspiration and insights from an all-Inuit panel on building a career in the arts!

Join us on Thursday Jan. 26 at 2pm ET/11am PT for a discussion with Heather Campbell, IAF’s Strategic Initiatives Director, in conversation with photographer and arts administrator Barry Pottle, filmmaker and curator Jocelyn Piirainen, and animator and filmmaker Glenn Gear.

Defining a ‘career in the arts’ can look very different depending on one’s background, skills and interests. Take a peek into the daily life of leaders in the arts who have each walked a different path, and hear their incredible stories about how their passion for the arts led them to where they are today. 

The panel will discuss key moments and specific resources that have supported them on their journey. Gain valuable advice about the many different opportunities that exist for Inuit in the arts. This includes opportunities for artists who are also interested in arts administration, as well as non-artists who are still passionate about the arts.

Bring your questions for the panel, we’ll leave ample time for Q&A
