Showcase 2012

“Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.” – Albert Einstein

These six words became the guiding theme of this year’s ArtStarts Showcase conference, sparking one bright idea after another. Building on this, the ArtStarts team focused on joining Inspiration and Information to shape this year’s event, which was held March 1 & 2 in Vancouver.

2011 Showcase in Review

A month has passed since ArtStarts hosted the 2011 Showcase and we’ve had some time now to reflect on – and recover from – this exciting and rewarding annual event. Showcase connects school and community arts programmers with a diverse range of professional arts groups available for touring schools. Many months of planning and preparation go into creating a three-day event that is well-programmed, well-organized and well-attended. Looking back we can safely say that those goals were achieved.

ArtStarts postpones Showcase until February 2011

For many years, ArtStarts has brought together artists and school district delegates from around BC for our exciting Spring Showcase. The event helps arts programmers select from a diverse range of professional arts groups when booking performances for young audiences in their communities. However, after careful consideration, ArtStarts has decided to postpone our April 2010 Showcase until February 2011.
