We’re pleased to be supporting the students in the Post-Graduate Arts Management program at Centennial College for this year’s Arts Ahead event: THINKING OUTSIDE THE “WHITE CUBE”: New Ways of Creating and Experiencing the Arts. Arts Ahead 2025 will reimagine traditional presentation methods within the arts by moving beyond conventional spaces such as “white cube” galleries. The symposium will re-examine how we produce art by centering creativity and emphasizing community in the Tkaronto arts sector.
Through a series of panels and interactive workshops, Arts Ahead 2025 will delve into art-making’s intrinsic value, moving beyond commercial production. The event will spotlight catharsis and community building while exploring innovative presentation forms that engage diverse communities.
Arts Ahead is an annual symposium for arts professionals and cultural leaders organized by the post-graduate Arts Management cohort at Centennial College. The full-day event is an opportunity for artists and arts workers to share professional insights and participate in meaningful dialogue about current and future trends in the arts & culture landscape. The symposium also provides a networking forum for aspiring arts managers and current industry professionals to strengthen the position of arts management within the Toronto and Canadian arts, culture, and heritage industries.
