Strategic Revitalization
BC Live has undergone a strategic revitalization and is keen to serve a wider section of the performing arts ecosystem including live events and festivals.
We recognize that the festival sector has its own set of unique needs and are working hard to develop advocacy, programs and services tailored specifically for live events and festivals.
Festival Caucus
To address festivals specific needs and advocate for the sustainability of festivals we have assembled a new steering group, a “Festival Caucus”, to help us create robust programming.
Our Festival Caucus is made up of a diverse range of partners who have experience in all aspects of the festival and live event sector. During our meetings, we discuss relevant topics such as societal and environment trends, resource issues, staffing and volunteers, collaborations and partnerships, policy advocacy, and more.
The outcome of the discussions at our Festival Caucus meetings influence our organization’s new programming geared towards this sector.
Additionally, the Festival Caucus aids in providing a consensus-building approach for this programming, ensuring that all decisions are widely supported and reflective of the needs of those doing the work on the ground.
