FROM THE<br />
EXECUTIVE<br />
DIRECTOR<br />
We are delighted to launch this new <strong>Gallery</strong><br />
Guide. This publication will be produced<br />
twice a year, so keep it handy to remind you<br />
of all the outstanding exhibitions, events and<br />
programs that the KAG is offering over the<br />
next six months.<br />
The KAG has been working closely with the<br />
<strong>Kamloops</strong> Symphony and Western Canada<br />
Theatre in advocating the importance of arts<br />
and culture in the face of cuts to Provincial<br />
grants. We have met with Mayor Peter<br />
Milobar and MLA Kevin Krueger, and made<br />
presentations to the Community Gaming<br />
Grant Review, the BC Finance Committee,<br />
the BC <strong>Art</strong>s Council Board and the Premier’s<br />
round table on job creation—it's been a very<br />
busy time!<br />
Our key points in these presentations have<br />
been to emphasize the important role that<br />
the arts and cultural sector plays in sustaining<br />
and enhancing our economy; that we are<br />
an integral part of the fabric that draws<br />
economic opportunities to our Province and<br />
to our Region.<br />
We articulated the connection between the<br />
quality of life within a community and its arts<br />
and cultural activities; that by participating in<br />
or enjoying art classes, parades, festivals, art<br />
IN MEMORIAM<br />
and history museums, theatres and symphony<br />
orchestras community members of all ages<br />
and diverse backgrounds strengthen their<br />
relationships with one another through<br />
shared experiences.<br />
By nurturing creativity and fostering<br />
enjoyment and appreciation of artistic<br />
accomplishments, we develop a better<br />
understanding of ourselves and the world<br />
around us and we expand our capacity to be<br />
thoughtful individuals.<br />
Across the Province these severe cuts are<br />
beginning to effect core operating functions<br />
that have taken decades to build. There are<br />
artists and arts organizations that depend<br />
upon the expertise and facilities the arts<br />
community provides in the TNRD. There are<br />
educational programs, tourism initiatives,<br />
employment and recruitment programs that<br />
rely on our work.<br />
<strong>Kamloops</strong> is an extraordinary city and the arts<br />
and cultural sector plays an important role in<br />
making this a great place to live and work.<br />
Thanks so much for your support!<br />
