Pivotal Conversations

  • The Old FireHall 1105 Front Street Whitehorse Canada (map)

The half-day gathering builds on the success of last year’s conversation – a meaningful exchange of creative ideas between local artists and arts leaders that expanded beyond day-to-day interactions. The workshop takes a peer-to-peer and participant-driven approach to discussions, which created enthusiasm and delivered concrete outcomes.

The structure of the workshop builds on Jacob Zimmer’s work providing leadership for conferences, Open Space meetings, and designing and facilitating leadership development with Banff Centre Arts & Creativity and other organizations across the country.


We’ll convene conversations about the futures and opportunities and needs for the arts in Whitehorse and the Yukon. We’ll leave room for “day of” inspiration but you can expect conversations like:

  • What support do Yukon theatre makers need?

  • How can we best share resources to succeed?

  • More organizations or more organization?

  • How can the arts contribute to questions of land use, climate change and social cohesion?

  • What does success look like to you?
