Creative Space Projects: A Brainstorming Workshop 2020

ArtsBuild Ontario

This brainstorming workshop is designed for arts organizations across Ontario considering or currently embarking on a creative space project.
This workshop provides the opportunity for participants to discuss their projects and openly problem-solve with others tackling similar projects. Participants will be guided through a series of exercises that will allow them to brainstorm solutions or ideas around their own issues. Arts leaders who have completed a capital project will provide a panel discussion and offer guidance to participants based on their past experiences. This year’s panellists are Kendra Fry, General Manager at Trinity St. Paul's, Jaime Griffis, Director of Programming and Promotion at Idea Exchange and Nadine Baker, Facility Manager at The Tett Centre for Learning and Creativity. Additionally, students from Conestoga College's Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) will present their mock plan for a creative hub at the former Schneider's factory building in Kitchener.

Nadine Baker has passionately supported the not-for-profit arts and cultural sector both in Toronto and Kingston for 20 years. With her background in design, fine arts, and business administration, Nadine became involved with the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning,  in 2010 during its infancy as a charitable arts organization. As a founding Director of the Tett Centre’s Board of Directors, Nadine was a key leader in the development of management and sustainable business strategies in preparation for the centre's re-opening in 2015. Owned by the City of Kingston, the waterfront heritage building is now operated independently under Nadine's leadership as Facility Manager. With her team of dedicated staff, a volunteer Board of Directors, and in partnership with Kingston’s Department of Cultural Services, the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning is thriving as a meaningful contributor to Kingston’s arts scene.
