it struck me that we have begun to function as a trulystrategic board, and a rather collegial one at that.

Our committees are robust and fluid, with strongterms of reference allowing for waxing and waning as need be. Most importantly we are all delighted to embrace and champion our new ten-year planConnections & Exchanges.

I leave a board poised to guide, nurture, and facilitateas the EAC team, lead by the indefatigable SanjayShahani, embarks upon the implementation of theplan’s momentous and far-reaching strategies.

I am honoured to have been a small part of thisbeginning of the beginning, and I will miss sittingaround the table with the friends I have made at theEdmonton Arts Council. I wish them all the best ofgood fortune as they move ahead. I am grateful foreach and every one of them, and grateful for the newartists and community leaders who will join them.

My sincere thanks to all our committees for theirongoing collaboration, to Sanjay, Sally Kim, StephenWilliams, Jenna Turner, David Turnbull, ShirleyCombden and their respective teams for their untiringand creative work, and to the Mayor and City Councilfor their continued confidence. I have learned so muchfrom you all.

As I prepare to leave the Edmonton Arts Councilafter six remarkable years (the past three as Chair)a recent moment stands out from my final boardmeeting just a few weeks ago.

After arriving at a final rather complicated motionwhich everyone had weighed in on in a particularlysatisfying manner, there was a quick zinger and abig round of laughter. As I looked around the tableI thought, “mission accomplished!”

I make comedy for a living you see, and laughter is, to me, a sign of great success. Perhaps a moreapropos thought might have been “it’s thebeginning of the beginning!” to rusticallyparaphrase Churchill. At any rate, after six years

Renewal and engagement defined 2018 for the Edmonton Arts Council (EAC). Our leadership of the cultural planning process received unanimous endorsement when Edmonton City Council approvedConnections & Exchanges: A 10-Year Plan To TransformArts and Heritage In Edmonton. That endorsement wasreiterated in December when Council renewed our 4-Year Operating Budget, with an increase of funds toimplement the plan and deepen the impact of thearts.

In 2019, the EAC will consult with the arts communityto build an implementation framework for Connections& Exchanges. We are excited to explore new ways ofstrengthening support for all arts sectors and furtherengaging Edmontonians.

This annual report eloquently lays out the EAC’s manyaccomplishments over the past year. Just the numbersare impressive: nearly $10 million dollars in investments; 85 conservation projects; 12 public art installations, and 25 ongoing public art projects. In addition, TIX continued offering box office servicesand increased its inventory of artistic products by Edmonton artists and artisans. Our community programming expanded from Churchill Square intothree new communities.

The September opening of ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ – Edmonton’s Indigenous Art Park – marked thecompletion of a transformative six years thatdeepened our connection with Edmonton’s

Indigenous communities. The park is an importantmilestone in our journey of reconciliation and haspermanently changed the way this organizationapproaches its work with Edmonton’s citizens.

I want to thank the Mayor and City Council fortheir continued trust and commitment in the EAC’sleadership. By unanimously approving Connections& Exchanges and increasing investment in the EAC,they have affirmed the vital role played by the artsin building a healthy, vibrant and connectedEdmonton.

Finally, I would like to thank the EAC Board andStaff for the care, passion and professionalismthey bring to the work of nurturing everyrelationship in Edmonton’s arts and culturalcommunity. Thank You!

Still unfinished, we nowCall this gallery Edmonton

breathes culture into this city

It is home to ensembles of imaginations connected by the

desires to createIts sympathies of colourful rhythms

drew the world here

Edmonton is a theatre named transientWhere the curtain never drops and the audience never leavesEventually becoming cast or crew

Any appraisal would be incorrectThe real value is how thePieces compliment the collectionThey provide each other meaning

You might as well call it poetryIts roots extend in every directionA collection of unique poemslooking to fill the pages of destiny

Shared visions and engagement drive Connections & Exchanges: A 10-Year Plan To Transform Arts and Heritage In Edmonton. Unanimously endorsed by Edmonton City Council, this plan outlines a deliberate,collaborative, and adaptable strategy to advancecity-building goals through a community-driven vision for cultural development, linking directly tothe City’s own strategic vision.

Connections & Exchanges lays out the vision for Edmonton’s cultural development through its threeAmbitions, the eight Aims which articulate the desiredoutcomes and fifty-five strategic Actions that complete the roadmap which will guide transformationover the next decade. The measurement framework isintegral to Connections & Exchanges and will validatethe progress made by the EAC and its partners on anannual basis.

To develop Connections & Exchanges, the EACpartnered with the Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC),Arts Habitat Edmonton (ArtsHab), the City of Edmonton,and a consortium of consultants. Together the project team designed an engagement strategy toconsult with, and represent, the full diversity of Edmonton’s arts and heritage communities.

The consultation process and the secondary researchwere guided by the following overarching principlesfor artists, festivals, and arts organizations: inclusivity; innovation, excellence and leadership; collective responsibility; and economic security.

More than 8,000 Edmontonians were engagedthrough diverse consultation methods:

• 40+ sessions, including interviews, pop-ups, and facilitated engagements reached out to Edmontonians, arts and heritage organizations and festivals.

• Five dedicated sessions with urban Indigenous Elders, artists, and youth.

• YEGCulture Map, an online forum for sharing cherished arts and heritage memories and visions for the future; a City of Edmonton Insight Community Survey, and the “One Idea” Question Series.

Connections & Exchanges contains an implementation principle that recognizes that Indigenous peoples have agency in theirjourneys of revitalizing and participating in traditional, contemporary, and future manifestations of their culture.

This key principle guides the EAC, EHC, and ArtsHab in our work with Indigenouscommunities, and reflects the autonomyand development of Indigenous cultures.

Photographer Leanne Olson began her residency withthe Edmonton Waste Management Centre in February2018. In August, her six-month residency was extendedthrough February 2019. Her work generated mediacoverage locally and nationally.

“The draw of this call was an opportunity to understand waste. Waste is a necessary part ofhuman existence, yet it can be somewhat of a mystery—what happens when it goes ‘away’ andwhy is it often ‘thrown out’? Where is this awayplace and why do I always tend to crumple it before it goes there?” - Leanne Olson

ᐄᓃᐤ(ÎNÎW) RIVER LOT 11∞INDIGENOUS ART PARKᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ celebrates the Indigenouspresence in Edmonton’s River Valley. The six artworksexpress the vitality and scope of Indigenous culturalpractice embedded within, and celebrated as, theheart of Canada’s contemporary identity. Theartworks also reveal an Indigenous worldview thathonours the environment, the land, and the dignity of each creature living upon it. They express the story of “this place,” which has been a gathering spot formany cultures over millennia.

Bringing the ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ artworks toreality was a five-year process wherein the EdmontonArts Council engaged with Edmonton’s Indigenouscommunities, Elders and knowledge holders as well asIndigenous artists from across Canada. The processbegan in September 2013 when curator CandaceHopkins facilitated a visioning workshop thatimmersed artist and community participants in ceremony and cultural protocols alongside site visits and brainstorming. This process informed thenation-wide call for expressions of interest.

“It’s not only a beautiful gathering place for allpeople, but a celebration of Indigenous peoples,Indigenous artists, and the city’s commitment toreconciliation.” - Mayor Don Iveson

Six artists were selected, and each worked closely withEdmonton’s Indigenous communities to create theirpieces. The artworks and artists are: iskotew - AmyMalbeuf (Rich Lake, Alberta), pehonan - Tiffany Shaw-Collinge (Edmonton, Alberta), mikikwan - DuaneLinklater (Moose Cree First Nation, Ontario),mamohkamatowin - Jerry Whitehead (James SmithFirst Nation, Saskatchewan), Reign - Mary AnneBarkhouse (Nimpkish Band, Kwakiutl First Nation,British Columbia), and Preparing to Cross the SacredRiver - Marianne Nicolson (Dzawada'enuxw Nation,British Columbia).

The process culminated with a snowy communitycelebration on September 15, 2018 that expressedthe diversity and scope of Indigenous culture.

The EAC extends thanks to the steering committeemembers who, with generosity and wisdom, guidedthe process over five years – Elder Jerry Saddleback,Elder JoAnn Saddleback, Roberta Bearhead, BeatriceDemetris, Christine Sokaymoh Frederick, CandiceHopkins (Curator), Ron Lameman, Marilyn Lizée, DawnMarie Marchand, Doreen Poitras, and Lana Whiskeyjack.

Participation by the City of Edmonton IndigenousRelations Office, River Valley Park and FacilityDevelopment department, and IntegratedInfrastructure Services was integral to the project’s success.

“If the role of public art is to form a map of wherea community or city has been, and where it’s going,then ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ is a momentoussignpost on that journey.” - Sanjay Shahani
