Toronto Arts Council
Leaders Lab at TMU
“The Toronto Arts Council Leaders Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is designed to invigorate and inspire arts leaders, ensuring their future capacity to steward the health and success of the arts sector and the city as a whole. “
Building a Network of Creative Problem-Solvers and Innovative Thinkers
In 2023, I joined the facilitation team of the Toronto Arts Council Leaders Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University. Together with other forward thinking, process-oriented leadership guides, I design and lead cultural leadership learning for annual cohorts of artists, arts managers and community organizers committed to creating positive change in their organizations, communities and their city.
TAC Leaders Lab is a program for arts professionals to enhance leadership capacity in Toronto’s arts and culture sectors. In particular, it assembles individuals ready to challenge traditional concepts of leadership in order to manifest sector-wide change.
The goal of the program is to build a network of open-minded, creative problem-solvers and innovative thinkers from across disciplines who explore concepts and practices of relational leadership. The program focuses on power/influence, resilience and self-care, systems and networks, and community and civic engagement. It aims to strengthen leadership capacity in the arts sector, by creating bridges, networks, tools and the space for exchanging different perspectives and approaches.
