The Yukon Arts Centre’s 26th season was one of new energy, transition, and refocusing as we established a new three-year strategic plan, identifying our organizational priorities for the near future. At the core of this is engaging in meaningful and sustainable ways with the entire Territory, being an indispensable resource for artists, and developing and engaging more diverse audiences.

This past season had many highlights for our team, including the launch of our new website, supported by the Community Development Fund, and the purchase of new Theatre curtains, thanks to support from Lotteries Yukon.

Message from the CEOWe also had a renewed emphasis on our territory-wide mandate with our NorthwesTel Hanging Sky Tour, successfully touring artists to nine Yukon communities, including Gwaandak Theatre, Open Pit Theatre, Diyet and the Love Soldiers, Against The Grain Theatre, Tomas Kubinek, and William Prince. Our school programs and outreach continued to grow, with student matinee performances offered by Gwaandak Theatre, Ramshackle Productions, Against The Grain Theatre, The Good Lovelies, and Compagnie L’Immediat.

This past year we introduced our new @YAC residency program, in response to consultations with our arts community on what new role the Yukon Arts Centre can play to support the Northern cultural sector. The residency program offers in-kind facility and labour support for Yukon theatre and dance producers, and we were thrilled to support eight Yukon artistic companies/collectives in the first year of the program.

Our Visual Arts programming continued to offer remarkable exhibitions and outreach including To Talk With Others, which was the culmination of a two-year development process supported by the Canada Council for the Arts New Chapter Program. We also had another successful summer season with Art House in Carcross, in partnership with Carcross Tagish First Nation, sharing Yukon art with thousands of tourists from around the world.

I would like to thank the Yukon Arts Centre staff, volunteers, and board of directors for their passion and dedication which has contributed to the success of this past year. We all look forward to continuing to build momentum in the coming year and finding more ways to share the joys of art in our community.

Message from the Chair

It is my honour to serve as the new Chair of the Board of Directors for YACC. Although I have many years of board experience with local Whitehorse not-for- profit organizations, my role has always been as Treasurer. I have always been passionate about the Arts in the Yukon and am enjoying my new responsibilities as Chair.

I wish to acknowledge the service of the other members of the Board. I would especially like to express my gratitude to past Board Chair, Dr. Deb Bartlette, whose term ended in November 2018. Her leadership and contributions to YACC have been invaluable, and I’m thankful for her mentorship while I was Vice Chair.

The Board is excited about our new Strategic Plan, which was developed in consultation with the

YACC board and staff and was introduced in the fall of 2018. We’ve made tangible progress in addressing a number of priorities identified in the plan, particularly diversifying our audiences and broadening our partnerships throughout the Yukon. The Midnight Sun Children’s Festival and the further development of the Artists Residency Program are a few concrete examples of this progress. The Board has three years to support and advance the work contemplated by the Strategic Plan and we will continue to do so enthusiastically.

To the YACC staff and management team, you deserve a standing ovation for everything you do. Thank you for your devoted service and support for all YACC programming in Whitehorse and Yukon communities. To YACC’s multitudes of loyal volunteers, our faithful and new audience members, and our corporate and individual donors, thank you for your generous expressions of confidence and support. The Board and I would also like to recognize the CEO, Casey Prescott, for his vision, commitment, and unwavering leadership since his appointment.

Message from the Director of Programming

I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the past year as I transitioned into my new role as Director of Programming and prepared to meet the challenges set out in our new Strategic Plan.

The highlights of the last year for me are centred around events outside Whitehorse as part of the NorthwesTel Hanging Sky Tours. We saw record attendance in Teslin and Watson Lake for William Prince, and seeing the joy on the faces of students in Carmacks, Pelly and Dawson during Tomas Kubinek’s tour was personally very fulfilling. I also recall how electrified our building was during Snotty Nose Rez Kids with most of the audience up dancing with the performers in front of the stage. It was a potent reminder of how we can embrace an audience who wishes to engage with performers beyond sitting in a seat. This is what we are striving to achieve with our programming – to welcome everyone into spaces for live performance; whether through our @YAC Residency Program, Hanging Sky Tours or workshops and events we provide through our local and visiting artists. I look forward to next year’s presentations inside our venues and throughout our beautiful territory.

This year, the gallery was able to celebrate, commemorate and explore many pieces of Yukon landscape, history and culture. We started our season by transporting visitors to the Chilkoot Trail with the immersive exhibits by former Chilkoot Trail Residency artists. We held story nights during the exhibition but also found the chatter in the Gallery flowed all summer with tales from the Trail from how they hiked in flip-flops, lost a glove at the summit or shared dinner with new friends at Bennett.

In September we partnered with Yukon SOVA to present an incredible survey of art by alumni. With 30 artists and a far reaching and inventive range of media it truly was a celebration of SOVA’s first 10 years. Another important date we commemorated was the sinking of the SS Princess Sophia with the opening of an exhibit on Oct. 25, 2018, exactly 100 years after the Canadian Pacific steamship sank in Alaska’s Lynn Canal.

With original artifacts, text and films, the exhibition chronicled this maritime disaster that had such a

Message from the Director of Visual Arts

huge impact on the Yukon and yet has almost been forgotten.

December brought the opening of To Talk With Others, a project many years in the making thanks to the support of Canada Council’s New Chapter funding. The exhibit features responses by Ken Anderson (Tlingit/Scandinavian), Lianne Charlie (Northern Tutchone), Valerie Salez (First Generation Canadian), Doug Smarch Jr. (Tlingit), and Joseph Tisiga (Kaska Dene) to the minutes of a meeting in August of 1977 between Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and five Yukon First Nations leaders regarding the then-approved Mackenzie Pipeline.

The final exhibitions of the season were both focused on the circumpolar. Jane Isakson explored our points of reference within the arctic landscape and Finnish artist Kaisu Koivisto tackled similar subject matter through sculpture, photography and video. As we look to the next year, our gaze on the circumpolar North will continue as we build towards the Arctic Winter Games in 2020.
